Home victory in the potato run

After his successes this year at the Kalterer See half marathon and the Meran-Algund half marathon, Ousman Jaiteh was actually considered the top favorite to win the Raiffeisen ¾ half marathon Bruneck – Sand in Taufers. But the 29-year-old from Gambia was only able to keep up with Markus Ploner for the first 4 kilometers. The 38-year-old from Sterzing kept his pace until the end and ultimately won the ¾ half marathon with a time of 57.53 minutes. Jaiteh had to settle for second place in 1:00.01 hours and in the end was almost overtaken by record winner Hermann Achmüller (2 successes/5:1).

“It was my third time there and I was able to win this race for the first time after a third and second place. The conditions were ideal and I'm happy that I was able to keep my pace from start to finish. Now I'm preparing for the Berlin Marathon, where I would like to improve my marathon best time of 3:3 hours," said day's winner Markus Ploner at the finish.

Cascavilla runs up and away from her competitors For the women, there was no way around Maria Chiara Cascavilla. The 24-year-old from San Giovanni Rotondo (Foggia), who competes for AS La Fratellenza 1874 Modena, celebrated a confident start-to-finish victory in 1:03.28 hours. The 24-year-old, who represented Italy at the Universiade in Naples a few weeks ago, is a 5000 and 10.000 meter specialist and is currently preparing for the Italian 10.000 meter road championships in Canelli at the beginning of September.

Natalie Andersag from Kardaun took second place as the best South Tyrolean. The current leader in the Top2 overall ranking, who starts for the ASC Berg, covered the 7 kilometers in 17,6:1 hours and finished just behind Manfred Feichter from Luttach, who is the only participant in all 11.56 editions of the Raiffeisen ¾ half marathon to date took part. “This second place comes as a bit of a surprise and I am very happy about it. I've been training a lot and hard in the past few weeks. But the conditions were really ideal,” said Andersag, who relegated Reischacher Julia Kuen (ASD Atl. Club 21 Dobbiaco/2:2000) to third place. The organizer is pleased by the good atmosphere among the participants The organizers from ASV Lauf Südtirol and SSV Taufers, as well as the South Tyrol sports group for the physically disabled, were satisfied with their conclusions after the 21st edition: “The Erdäpfellauf has established itself in the South Tyrolean running scene and is certainly one of the most renowned events in our country. We are now a huge family. We are particularly happy that everything went smoothly, there were no injuries and the many athletes were very satisfied. Like every year, the atmosphere along the route, later at the finish and at the award ceremony was excellent,” said OC boss Franz Hofer.

The Top7 running series 2019 will continue in a good month - on Sunday, September 22nd - with the Soltn Mountain Half Marathon.

Home victory in the potato run

All good things come in threes: This saying was particularly true on Saturday evening for Markus Ploner, who won the 3 kilometer long potato run with only 3 meters of altitude from Bruneck to Sand in Taufers for the first time on his third participation.
