P.S.
Famous french megarunner Henri Girault, 78, passed away a few weeks ago. He had run 603 official 100-K races between 1979 and 2012, visiting about 40 countries around the world. His strongest year was 1988 with 37 official 100-K races completed along the year.
Your article is incomplete, you forgot the most important. The only multidays race that is really new in France for 2015 will be “Le Tour de France Footrace”, 2800 km, 43 stages from June 28 to August 9. I think it will be the longest multidays race ever created in France, and maybe the longest in the world in 2015!
