Thanks again. I'll keep looking at their site. I seem to think entries open up in in Jan.
Another quick question for you (hope you don't mind).....
As far as navigation is concerned, is this a marked course or is a high level of navigational skill required? Is there a need to recce the course and look in great depth at maps beforehand etc.
Thanks
Yes, entries open.Originally Posted by 2 Beers
It is a completely marked course. Absolutely no nav. needed. A fluorescent marker every 100 metres or so and a race book with maps you'll rarely look at.
Hi
I've missed out on a place in this year's UTMB, but having done the last few years, it's quite nice to look forward to something different; so thought I'd try this one.
I appear to have got a place on the 2011 GRP
Anyone else doing this one?
cheers
Matt
Hi Matt
I am looking to enter soon. I guess I had better not leave it too long. Or are they full already? I'd better check it out. Thanks for the reminder!
The winner of the ladies race has already entered has have the RaceKit team.
Just entered this. Any advice regarding accommodation etc will be very welcome.
