Max blogs as World results appear
Reading through it’s clear that it was a very eventful race, all the way through to the fact that a Ugandan runner led until 800m before the finish, and then seemingly dropped out!
The results are in!
Now online are the full results from Sunday’s races via this link, showing juts how tough the racing was. Some notable big names of world mountain running struggled in the Albanian heat, and possibly with the unusual course conditions.
Looking down the men’s results it’s not often you see the likes of Uganda’s Martin Toroitich in 19th, Portugal’s Rui Muga in 31st – but that’s racing!

About MST
Mud, Sweat and Tears was dreamt up some time ago. I had returned to the sport of running (competitively) after around a 15 year layoff due to injury.

Great report but how ridiculous to have a world champs organised like an amateur fun run. Giving countries the chance to promote an event is one thing but a World Champs should be special and organised properly.

Sorry IAAF this is not mountain running or a great way to promote mountain running.The course was non inspiring as a running venue there was certainly no record in spectators ….but a new record in tetanus jabs.whoever chose this location should be forced to live in the building site (on the course) for a year.All credit to the athletes who participated for there countries in torrid dirty conditions who always show their commitment to the sport …..but the WMRA IAAF are probably not the best tag team ????

I agree Billy that these Champs need to be looked at very hard. I was talking to a GB team member who was out there on Sunday. Some of the other aspects he described are not printable on here!
