The Belgian Marc Papanikitas (Pictured) and the Austrian Sabine Hofer successfully earned the IAU 50K Trophy 2007. Marc Papanikitas was also victorious in the Open Race in 3h06m36s about three minutes ahead of runner-up Julian Rendall (GBR) with 3h09m39s and six on the Austrian Bernhard Santner (3h12m44s).

Monica Carlin won the Open Race (3h32m17s) by the women but didn’t take part in any of the selection races so couldn’t be ranked in the final ranking of the Trophy. The Australian June Petrie finished second in 3h35m38s only 29 seconds ahead of Sabine Hofer (AUT) who finished in 3h36m07s just fast enough to win the Trophy.
