Racers briefing

The traditional racers briefing is done. Teams have been told infos on the race by Pascal Bahuaud and Thierry Grisard, race directors. This 7th edition will begin at 12am tonight, with a pre-race. About 90 people from the city of Hauteville-Lompnes will also take part of this pre-race, side to side with the racers. Racers will then have a tough trek section, inn the complex Ain forests. Teams will have to be very careful reading the map!

Then, new onn the raid, the stand up paddle section, before doing a tek, bike and kayak section.
Pascal Bahuuaud insisted on  one point: the impossibility to paddle by night with a non-working light.
Other info, a 3 hours compulsory stop at the assistance.
They will leave by bike and then paddle with traditionnal boats. Then, trek, speleo, bike, kayak and a long biking section to reach the finish line.
