Ready to go! Gran Trail Courmayeur is about to start: it will take place in two days, July 11th and 12th, in the valley surrounding Mont Blanc.
Three races are taking place: 90, 60 and 30 km with differents paths and, most of them, up on altitude.
The news of the 2015 edition is the shortest race which is absolutely not to understimate. It has to be taken as a chance to improve in order to take part in longer competition, so it is important to bring in the backpack all the “compulsory material” needed for longer paths, such as headlamps (they are useful even if the race will be all during daytime).
Backpack has to be prepared consciously in order to be ready to all the challenges that weather and altitude could provide. So, it is important to have sunscreen, camel bag full for a good hydration, but also whatever you need to face rain or low degrees.
Those suggestions apply to all the runners, whatever races they are taking part in.
Some runners still haven’t uploaded on www.100x100trail.com the documents requested for their participation (medical certificate and disclaimer). Please do it as soon as possibile: as it is written in the rules, without the needed documents it is not possibile to take part in the race.
A tip: bring with you all the documents required, so that you have it with you if requested at the bib given out.
