After an incredible effort, Spanish athlete Juancar Gimeno crossed the finish line March 9th at 11:09 as the first athlete to complete the 500km Bright Equipment Lapland Arctic Ultra 2025!
Juancar looked strong throughout the final stretch, even managing to run much of the way — a truly impressive push after such a gruelling distance. His determination paid off in the best way possible, as he was met by his family, who had secretly travelled to surprise him at the finish line!
A fantastic performance and a race brilliantly run — congratulations, Juancar!
