Amazean Jungle Thailand by UTMB is emerging from the tunnel this weekend. Have you seen these incredible photos of where this race is held? This races starting out of this tunnel are so fun. One thing that stuck out to me is how many different nationalities made it on to the podium at this year’s event – probably one of the more diverse podiums we’ve seen.

Just like last weekend I’ll be posting updates of the races as they conclude below.

In a couple of weeks we have an insane week with 4! four UTMB events at the same time: The third edition of the incredibly popular Trail Alsace Grand Est in the Alsace region of France and the world’s second-largest Ultra-Trail – and for the first time the Major for the Oceania Region – the Ultra-Trail Australia, both on 15-18 May, 2025. And Ultra-Trail Great Wall in China and Ultra-Trail Snowdonia in Wales on 16-18 May, 2025. Busy weekend!
