Ice Ultra 2020 Stage Two – Round-Up and Results
Our summary of the action on Stage Two, plus the current standings…
26th February, 2020
On Stage Two our runners tackled our mountain stage. Arguably the most taxing stage of the race, this 44km trail includes a seemingly endless climb in soft snow up and over Mt Kabla.
Temperatures on the highest ground dipped below -30c early on and stayed low all day. By nightfall it was -25c even down at lake level at Arrenjarka Camp.
The cold weather has taken it’s toll and a few runners have been forced to retire. Lee Haswell, Kathryn De Ferrer and Doug White have withdrawn from the race. Jutta Musigk was a DNS on Stage Two. Tania Hodgkinson will receive a time penalty for assistance at the final checkpoint today but continues in the race.
Here’s our round-up of the day’s action. Below you’ll find the results for Stage Two and the cumulative times so far.
