The 9th Tartu Relay Marathon was won by a team called Hans ja nagamannid (Kevin Grihin, Albert Unn, Hans Teearu, Klaus Mark Kolpakov).

 

According to the anchorman of the winning team, Klaus Mark Kolpakov, they were constantly in the lead with the team and did not let anyone in front. "Until the last kilometer, we went together with the anchorman of the other team, and then I decided not to leave it until the end and and tried to attack," he stated.

 

The team Jämejalad United (Mart Vsivtsev, Marten Aolaid, Jüri Uha, Joosep Perv) was second one and the Team Nordic Jobs Worldwide (Robin Möll, Henri Roos, Risto Vaher, Kaspar Kaasla) came in third.

 

Second and third place lost to the winning team +00.12 and +01.11. See the relay marathon results from HERE.

 

A total of 69 teams (four members in each team) participated in the Tartu Relay Marathon. 272 skiers went to the Open Track races (63, 31 and 16 km). See the results from HERE.

 

The main races of the 49th Tartu Marathon (63 and 31 km) will take place already next Sunday, February 19. The organizers decided that since this year's winter has been unpredictable in terms of weather conditions, the Tartu Maraton early bird price will be extended.
