Hyun Chang Chung

My name is Hyun Chang and I was born in Korea. I grew up in Santiago del Estero, Argentina. After studies, I started working and lived in few countries. Never been sporty at all, untill I landed in Hong Kong where I started mountain biking seriously and one thing to other led me to trail running.

I started trail running casually and participating in few local races until 2 years ago I started to take more seriously and since then never stopped. I've been to adventure races, mountain bike races and am an occasional triathlete, but have my heart with the mountains.

I have 3 wonderfull kids (Irati, Uxue and Unai) who keep me more than busy and a great wife that supports me end to end so that I can give them back all the happinness I get from the mountains.

Ah! I also have to work! I work in technology as an applications developer for a major investment bank and have relocated in the last year to New York where I am learning to train for ultras in a relatively flat city.

I consider myself very fortunate to be able to run outdoor and have the possibilities to visit some of the most amazing places on earth while motivating others to try something new.

Some of the highlights of my running bio is to have participated in following events (with an occasional podium):

*King of the Hills series - Hong Kong

*Vibran Hong Kong 100 - Hong Kong

*UTMB - France

*Ehunmilak 100M - Basque Country

*Patagonia Run - Argentina

*Andes Infernal 51KM- Chile

*The North Face Endurance Challenge 80KM - Chile

*Pinhoti 100M - USA

*The North Face Endurance Challenge NY 50M - USA

*Cayuga 50M Ithaca - USA

*Manitou's Revenge - USA
