Check the course of the S11 ATM Championship Final at Mu Cang Chai

No surprises for the course of this season’s ATM Championship Final at Mu Cang Chai Ultra Trail in Vietnam on 3 October. The course is the same as the one presented last year, when the event had to be cancelled due to the heavy aftermath of a typhoon that devastated northern Vietnam. The race to determine the successors of John Ray Onifa and Priya Rai as Asia Trail Master Champions will start just before sunrise at 5 am. As always, the ATM Final race will start separately from the open public 75km and the other open distance categories at the event. Both defending champions from Philippines and Nepal, respectively, are also expected to defend their titles in the 75km long race with an estimated elevation gain of 3700 hm. When dry, the route is expected to be quite runable. Wet weather could make it muddy and slippery, on the other hand. Views along the route are exquisite. One can distinguish 8 clear hill peaks on the below course map. The Finish follows a descent of 5-6 kilometres.

You can also check the video of the course to get a feeling of what to expect. Qualified and confirmed ATM Finalists will receive the GPX file also via the dedicated whatsapp group in the coming days.
