The 360 on Friday stretched things early. Morgan Aguirre settled into it, riding with control as the race thinned out around her, finishing fourth. For Karolin Migon, it ended almost before it began. A crash and mechanical forcing her out, the race moving on without her.

In the men’s field, Tobias Mørch Kongstad rode within reach of the front, eventually crossing the line in seventh. Not a defense of last year’s win, but still a solid presence in the race as it took shape.

Beyond the racing, The Traka once again brought the wider community together. Back at the Pas Normal Studios tent, the weekend unfolded with live race coverage, rides, music, and a steady flow of pizza and beers. A shared space for riders, staff, and supporters alike.
