"After a well-paced start that put him behind numerous competitors, Andrii Tkachuk (Ukraine) gained the lead some seven hours into the race and added to his advantage the rest of the way. Tkachuk totaled 294.3k (182.8 miles), nearly nine kilometers better than his closest chaser. He was third at the 2023 championships. On wildly different terrain, Tkachuk was 121st at the Trail World Championships Long Trail race just three weeks ago."
"Late passes pushed Jo Inge Norum (Norway) and Matti Jonkka (Finland) into the silver- and bronze-medal positions with 285.5k (177.4 miles) and 283.6k (176.2 miles), respectively. Matt Urbanski was the top U.S. finisher in 19th with 255.0k (158.4 miles). World-record holder Aleksandr Sorokin (Lithuania) did not start the race. His world record from 2022 stands at 319.6k (198.5 miles). Finland won the team race, with France and Poland second and third."
