Jones and Frost win Transvulcania.

After all the pre-event hype this year's Transvulcania did not disappoint. After a thrilling battle 21 year old Dakota Jones beat both Kilian Jornet (3rd place) and a fast finishing Andy Symonds (2nd place) to claim his greatest win so far. In the women's race Anna Frost lead from very early on and finished with a 40 minute lead on second placed Nuria Picas. Nikki Kimbal was third.

There were plenty of reporters there, so it is easy to find some good coverage. We have been following Ian Corless @Talkultra.
