Nepali trail runner Rashila Tamang won the women's title at the Colon Trail Run held in Bhutan on Friday.

She completed the gruelling 42-kilometer mountain route in 7 hours, 11 minutes and 26 seconds. Belgium's Vanya Knops finished second in 7 hours, 18 minutes and 17 seconds, while Bhutan's Sangay Choden placed third.
