The hum in the arenas has died down and in a space of a few short weeks, the faint trail we have left behind from the last controls will disappear. And if your memories from this championship ever fade, we genuinely hope it will take a very long time. We can't thank you enough for coming to WMOC2023 and allowing us to meet the fantastic and indestructible community of people embracing and enjoying the sport. We wish you good luck with your future endeavour.

How gratifying to end the week of racing with long distance final in Silica, which can be as challenging as it is beautiful. So be prepared to engage your brain and run hard. Don't hold yourself back as you cross the finish line for the last time. Raise your hands, punch the air or have a joyful jump. Because for us, you are all champions.
