Tommi Kurola – the trail runner

Tommi Kurola the second rider from Finland arrived at the checkpoint in Nice yesterday 05.07.2024 12:25 CET. Tommi is from Espoo Helsinki, 53 years old and originally a runner. He is doing long distance trail runs.

For the NorthCape-Tarifa Tommi was training all the mountain passes virtually on the computer. In Val d’Isere he said: “This mountain passes are in reality much steeper as on the computer simulation.” Anyway he was climbing up Col d’Iseran like a mountain goat.

Tommi’s experiences include:

  • Northcape4000 2023 (finisher #16)
  • Three peaks bike race 2022 (finisher)
  • Transpyrenea en off 2018 (~1000km trail running across the Pyrenees)
  • Numerous 100 mile trail running races.
