Anyone know when entries open for 2015? Is it fairly easy to get a number or is it over subscribed with a lottery system? Keen to run next year.

From memory it was 77 Swiss francs this year,50 quid or so. I entered in April,but there were places still left up to June/July
It's been up a few weeks now.

Im in and going. Got my flight and hotel booked. Booked to camp originally just down the road from Zinal in Mission, but changed my mind so I'm now staying in Zinal.
I'm flying out from Liverpool on the Friday and back on the Monday (late flight back). Good deal with Easy jet at the mo.
Huge congratulations to Robbie Simpson, who was 3rd and only 21 seconds behind Kilian Jornet, taking his 4th win. After a heatwave over the previous week, the rain came on the night before and during the race, which was a relief, although it made conditions much slippier. In my 2nd attempt I was 2min down on 2014, running 3h12 for 64th male (10th M40-49 again), but the conditions meant times were generally slightly down. The leading women were super-quick, especially on the 1st long ascent, with a rare sub-3 from the winning Kenyan. Great to see so many Brits out there, for what is a brilliant race against the world's best.
....and what about Billy Burns, 10th overall, at the age of 45!
