Today the third round of the Danish Winter Series was held. It was also the Danish Championships in short-course cross-country (4 km). Marna had taken part in both previous rounds, and she was 10th in the overall Winter Series standings before today’s race. Today she finished in a very close battle for 5th to 10th place, with only five seconds separating them. Marna was in the thick of it and finished in a fine seventh place.
From the start today. Marna is wearing number 210.
The race was won by the strong Sara Sig Møller, who, like Marna, runs for Sparta. Another Sparta runner, Caroline Tauson, finished one second ahead of Marna in 6th place. Together the three of them won the team competition, just under a minute ahead of Århus 1900, so for the first time Marna Egholm can call herself a Danish champion.

As well as winning gold in the team competition, Marna also won silver in the women’s 30–35 category. She is also moving a few places up the overall standings of the Danish Winter Series. All of the first three rounds have been cross-country, which is not really Marna’s strength, and she is looking forward to the road races, including the Danish 10 km Championships.
FÍF warmly congratulates Marna on her Danish championship title!
