ACG 2026 Chongli 168 Super Trail — the top-three battle in the Chongli 168 category has finally been decided. Both FUGA contenders wore the FUGA EX PRO sock-boot test shoe in this race. Although Luo Canhua unfortunately withdrew, Zhao Jiaju ultimately took the win. In today’s rather extreme weather, did the FUGA EX PRO with its outer shell play a major role in Zhao Jiaju’s victory? “Calm Brother” Ionel Manole chose Salomon’s S/LAB Genesis Ltd Courtney V2 — a shoe with a story. After Courtney Dauwalter swept Western States 100, Hardrock 100 and UTMB in 2023, she became the first athlete ever to complete these three top 100-mile races in the same calendar year, finishing them all in the prototype of the S/LAB Genesis, which led to the limited-edition trail shoe made specially for her. A heavy rain disrupted many runners’ rhythms, but a dark horse emerged: Wu Chengkun grabbed third place, giving the FUGA EX PRO another appearance on the shoe leaderboard. Women’s champion Chen Lin unsurprisingly chose the adidas 大速流星2; the shoe’s race-day performance has been proven time and again in major events. Runner-up Zhao Fufen’s Kailas FUGA EX 330 is also a regular on long-distance trails — built for 330, it’s naturally up to 100-mile challenges. Third-place Wang Liping continued to act as a de facto Craft ambassador, choosing Craft’s Vild for the first half and the Nordlite Ultra ProMatryx for the second half, giving everyone more insight into Craft’s trail shoes.
