The Race
Backwood Hillbillies' open 100 km championships were organized on August 20th in Paloheinä, Helsinki.
The race was run in a seasonably warm weather, perhaps even too warm for runners, with day heights reaching +23 C.
Men's race was won by last years frouth placer Ari Ilola with a PB of 9:25:25, runner-up first-timer
Atte Björklund at 9.33.24. Very close finish for the third place: Pekka Rutanen passed Ari Päivinen with
only 300 m to go!
International observers also noted that a new Naula-Klubi (Nail-Club) record was born.
In women's race there were four runners, better than ever before. The race was won by first-timer Iiris
Pohjanpalo with a time of 12.15.04.
Second was Heleen Vennikas from Estonia. Heleen hasn't yet turned 18: who said that ultra running
is only for the "oldies"!
Overlapping with some foreign ultra races (Transe Gaule, France & 100 km European Challenge, NL)
took their toll in terms of top finnish ultra runners taking part in the race.
Together was run Masochist's Mini, standard marathon. The race was won by Peeter Vennikas from Estonia;
Peeter, Heleen's farther, won the 100 km race two years ago.
Hanna Vauhkonen won women's Mini at 4.17.19.
One of Backwood Hillbillies young hopefuls Mäkkylän Mammutti, too, took part in the race successfully.
Climax of the day was the race officials' sprint contest (one lap): club president Rääkänpään Runoratsu
led the peloton and smashed the old lap record
