In the early hours today, the battle for the 70 km title at the Chongli 168 Super Trail took place.

Because an alternate course was used, the race distance was shortened and the ascent reduced, so the pace was very fast and the competition unusually fierce.

On the women’s side, American Shea Aquilano won in 5:40:13, wearing the ACG Ultrafly.

Ren Ti finished 47 seconds back to take second in 5:41, wearing the ACG Zegama Trail.

Zhang Ting and Fan Kaili crossed the line together, tied for third. They were wearing Li‑Ning LU3 PRO and KAILAS FUGA EX PRO, respectively.

On the men’s side, Zhang Huohua won in 4:31:30, wearing a SALOMON S/LAB Genesis 2 test model. The men’s 100 km and 168 km champions were also in test shoes.

Meng Guangfu finished second, 34 seconds back, in HOKA Tecton X 3; Dai Yuneng took third — as an Outdoor Agent athlete he was wearing the Jingzhe fly.
