(following IAU rules, race course is not definitively set) that will include a 1/8m run around the bullring at Torrejon town. (more…)

Hi everyone,

in case you have not read it already, you will find my final report on this year’s race on arcticultra.de.

Dates for the YAU 2009

For all of you interested in the YAU 2009 I have the dates! We start Feb. 15th at 10.30 in Whitehorse. Those of you interested in dog mushing will once again be able to witness the start of the Yukon Quest the day before. It’s a great experience to see all these dog teams taking off into the wilderness. (more…)

Hello everyone,

it finally has arrived. The Whitehorse cold spell. Before each race there has been a period of really cold temperatures in Whitehorse. This time this period took a long time to arrive. As I write this it is – 43 degrees Celsius in the capital of the Yukon. The coldest we have had at the startline was around – 20 degrees C. Maybe we are in for a new record this time …

I will leave for Whitehorse on Feb. 4th. So, from Feb. 5th onwards I can be reached in the High Country Inn. With this last newsletter before the race I just want to give some updates and other important information. (more…)

Dearest friends!

I cannot believe how time flies!!! Year 2008 already! Jean is joining me in wishing you a wonderful year, filled with all you may desire!

It seems that during the latest trimester, Jean did cross over more than one planet… After a walk through Iran that will forever be engraved in his heart, he boards the ferry to Dubai where he lands on another planet! (more…)

INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ULTRARUNNERS
Dear ultramarathon friends,

The IAU Executive Council is glad to announce the following
important decisions they made this weekend during their
annual meeting in Monaco.

1. The IAU 24H WORLD CHALLENGE 2008 will be staged
in the OLYMPIC PARK OF SEOUL (KOR) during the second part of
October.

2. The IAU TRAIL WORLD CHALLENGE 2008 has been assigned
again to the organisers of the SUNMART 50 MILE RACE IN
HUNTSVILLE (TX)- USA, on 6 OR 13 DECEMBER 2008.

3. This year there will be no IAU EUROPEAN
CHAMPIONSHIP 24H.

4. No IAU 50K TROPHYneither in 2008 because with
the 24HWC (Oct.), 100KWC (Nov.) and the TRAILWC (Dec.) the
IAU calendar is already overloaded.

5. The Council agreed with the proposition of the
introduction of WILDCARDS for their MIAUC’s 100K and 24H (See
IAU website one of the next days)

6. The DEADLINE for the official appication for
organising one of our Major IAU Competitions for 2009 is set
on 31 MARCH 2008! These MIAUC’s are: WC and EC 100K 2009, WC
and EC 24H 2009, WC Trail 2009 and the Final Race of the IAU
50K Trophy 2009.

Dearest friends!

I have no idea how was your late summer, for our friends of the Northern hemisphere and your early spring for our friends of the Southern hemisphere. Mine was quite busy! I am certain that you have comfortable doubts that my life away from my darling Jean is spent predominantly on the computer and this mostly to work on his never ending walk! (more…)

Hello everyone,

Sean Brown’s race report now online

Sean Brown from England came twice to do the YAU 300 mile race on foot. Twice he had to give up at Braeburn, the 100 mile finish. However, he came back for his third try in a row in 2007. This time he made it! Now he wrote a very interesting report to share his experiences, views and emotions with others. You will find the report in the Race Report section on arcticultra.de.
