VLAD IXEL, Australia - BRAND AMBASSADOR @ ALKA12™ | Hong Kong
ALKA12™ welcome on board his new brand ambassador Vlad Ixel, Australia. Proud to sponsor a top athletes and a runner who competes in the extreme sport of ultradistance marathon running and has made an amazing impact on the sport in such a short time. Vlad started running in 2012 and turned vegan shortly afterwards. In June 2013 he entered the 75km Kep ultramarathon in Perth, Australia and won by over 5 minutes, setting a course record. He’s also won the Northface 100km in Singapore and entered TMBT 100km in Malaysia, which he also won. The Atacama crossing in Chile is a 250km race and Vlad recorded a second in this event, and also a second in the Northface 50k Hong Kong. Since then Vlad has continued to excel, as he competed in the Vibram Hong Kong 100. This 100km event is one of the biggest in the world and attracts many of the world’s top runners. His third place showed that he can compete with the best and we should expect more from him. In Feb 2014 Vlad competed in the North Face 100km Thailand Ultra, which he won and set the course record. A week later he ran in the Hong Kong 100km Ultra, and came third.
In March 2014 he ran in an extremely tough 50km in Hong Kong, winning by 30 minutes. At the end of April 2014 he won the overnight 54km Yam 2 Yam, from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In October he overcame food poisoning to win TNF100km , and he followed this up with races at 25km and 10km, winning two and placing second in the other. In November he won the MSIG Action Asia 50km trail race by 41 minutes and in December he won The North Face Hong Kong 50k by 26 minutes and broke the course record. Vlad was a finalist in Vegan Athlete of the year 2014. Soon after he returned to TNF Thailand and won the 100k race. In March 2016 he ran three races in which he took his third Translantau win and took wins and course records and the other two. Shortly after he took another win and course record (see the same link). In October 2016 he took on the Translantau Two Peaks, which included nearly 4000 metres of height gain, in extreme heat and humidity, taking the win. He then went to the World Trail Championships and was the fastest runner from the Southern hemisphere. 2017 saw him take a course record at the 32km Ultra Angkor What, a win at the 9 Dragons 50k ultra in Honk Kong, and a win at the MSIG Sai King 50k. He placed a relatively lowly 4th at Ultra Trail Australia and won the Australia Duathlon Championships. In November he got a pro triathlete license and scheduled with over 30 running races in 2018 , including 7 half Iron-mans and 6 triathlons.
