TRANSE GAULE VII : August 13-30, 2008

“NEXT YEAR, TRANSE GAULE !…”, during this month of September I heard it many times, from Gruissan to Lörrach. I heard it from stars’ hunters wanting to add one more to their collection (), from Deutschlandlauf strong survivors planning to visit La Douce France and also from TransEurope 2009 entrants who need to run kilometers and kilometers in the 18 months to come… Altogether around 30 runners already told they plan to run Transe Gaule 2008. So it feels important and urgent to inform you that the number of runners will be limited to 45 on the start line. (more…)

On an earlier post, some days ago, I said that Hiroko was very close to Jorg. I must have been mistaken by an hour because she is sttill edging closer and closer to Jorg everyday. Yesterday she tied the stage with third placed Uwe Schietzoldt.

Posted on PlanetUltramarathon:

At the end of April 2008, world-class endurance athletes and long-time friends Lisa Smith-Batchen and Louise Cooper will begin a record-breaking attempt to run across the United States.

They will run from California to New York to fundraise for the creation of a network of Dreamchasers programs, including a school to aid and assist women and children in need. Although Religious Teachers Fillippini (RTF) is a Catholic organization, their mission of “go and teach”, helping and caring, encompassses all people, regardless of religion.
