Richard, FWIW, we went to Luz Saint Sauveur, Haute Pyrenees last year on holiday and while we were there they had a 'fete de montagne'. It turned out to include a mini 'fell' race. Well, it would have been rude not to.. Here's a pic of my Mrs being presented with prize for 1st Lady: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/sjf99/3078ead1.jpg there were various other similar events on in the region while we were there. Plus it is a fantastic place to visit. Plenty of TdF cols to have a go at too if you hire a bike. as we see... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/sjf99/09eb6848.jpg
I seem to remember hearing that for some races you need to produce a Doctor's certificate. I've done a few races in France & Switzerland and always got away with it.
This is a new and developing website dedicated to mountain running and has a prety comprehensive list of european races. www.mountainrunning.net. The calender is being updated regularly and the rest of the website should follow soon.
Is there anywhere to see more info on this race in English? I can only find a french websiteQuote:

How/when do you enter and does it get oversubscribed?
I seem to remember entry not being that much of an issue, although I had entered by this point in the year, I think.Quote:

Might be wrong, but I think it is possible to see the entry list by doing the online registering thing via datasport.
Pretty sure you can do that without paying and entering - which you can do at a later stage.
Re the DRs certificate and race licences for running in Europe - if you are a member of the FRA, you can get a UKA registration number at no extra cost which covers this.....
Take a look at this for some race ideas:
