    Races in the pyrenees

    Can any one recommend a race in the Pyrenees? Looking at something between 10-20 miles over the summer.

    Thanks

    check out Pyreneeshaven.com they have a list

    Dent d'orlu was excellent, but that was 2 weeks ago.

    I was only 300m behind Gary, who won the race
    but 12 minutes down
    it was not only 300m horizontal but 300m vertical also.

    It you let us know where you are going and when you are coming we will be able to help you out.

    But of the races coming up in our area the one I would look at is the shorter Montcalm race or the full one which is 26 miles with 2500m + of up and down on the 21st August. There is also a fantastic lakeland style race the weekend after from l'Hospitalet which is 14km 1000m up and down.

    If you want any more info send us a PM or email us through our website.

    This months issue of Running Fitness magazine has a good article on mountain running in France/The Pyrenees.
