The link above should give you info about the 80K but its in French only. There's no information about the 80K in English yet.
Good luck! I entered the 80k as soon as it was announced, after completing the Mont Blanc marathon for the last 3 years I felt like a change. Now the route has been announced I am glad I did as it looks great. At 4am I would rather climb steeply uphill than run along the valley and the downhill finish will make a change from the marathon but the 24 hour cut off gives an indication of the severity of the challenge. Parts of the 80k route are also used by the marathon. The other attraction is that the 80k takes place at the start of the weekend so I will be able to watch the Cross and Marathon having already done my event. Whether well I get to see any of the Km vertical is another matter.
Good luck, too. I did Mont Blanc first last year. I hadn't realised there was a 80km version this year but will definately be doing for it next year so look forward to hearing your review. A downhill finish would certainly be nicer.
Merlin,
Yes the route looks fantastic. Really looking forward to it. I have also completed the marathon the last 3 years and might go for a 4th attempt next year as I have entered the marathon as well. Well we shall see how that goes....
Fewer than 50 spaces left for the 80K now so it will most likely fill up by the end of the week.
Sorry, when I said next year I meant 2014. I'm signed up for the marathon, now. I wouldn't do both. You'd have to be mad .... oh, sorry!
Hi guys ive entered the 80k. Ive a query regarding the medical certificate- do you use the one on the website and then upload it once your doctor fills it in
