August 19th to October 21st 2009 4000 km in 64 Stages

Hallo Ingo,
I was informed that Theo Kuijpers died yesterday. He was fighting against Leukemia since more than 10 years (and looking at what he has been able to complete during these 10 years is amazing.Theo was a Deutschlandlauf 2005 and Trans Europe 2009 Finisher and also a Transe Gaule 2004, 2008 & 2010 Finisher. At Transe Gaule 2006, just out from a chemiotherapy only a few days before start, he DNF’d during stage 2 because of stomach problems caused by pills but then he could resume his race as soon as the next day and finally he could complete the 16 final stages to the end. Last year Theo registered for his 5th Transe Gaule but he could not participate because doctors asked him to undergo for a spinal cord transplant without delay. DUV let us know that Theo also participated in Spreelauf 2002 and Isarrun 2004 & 2007.
http://statistik.d-u-v.org/getresultperson.php?runner=3507
Theo was the very good friend of Dutch fellow runners Regina Van Geene, Jos Broersen and Jan Nabuurs and the four often traveled together to different races. In France we used to call them “Les Quatre Mousquetaires” (Die Vier Musketiere).  Today Les 4 Mousquetaires stay only 3... Below is the yesterday message from his friend Jos Broersen announcing his death. So sad news. Cremation is next wednesday at Venray.

News from the French multiday runner and race director extraordinaire, Jean-Benoit Jaouen on the upcoming Trans-Europe Footrace 2012.
Well that’s it, here we are in August. On the still warm ashes of the London Olympics, the “Trans Europe Footrace” will start on the 19th of this month in Skagen -  a small fishing port located in the far north of Denmark, at the confluence of the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, which will be the starting point of a 4176 km race which will end, hopefully, in the Strait of Gibraltar. Once transferred “from sea to sea” …
This transcontinental race, the third organized by the Germans in Europe, travels 1330 km through France September 10th to 30th, stages no’s. 23-43. The mid-point will be located at the end of the 30th stage in the village of Montlevicq (Indre) and the next day the caravan will stop in St-Sulpice les Feuilles (Haute-Vienne) from where the layout of the course will follow the Transe Gaul route for 8 stages visiting the Creuse, Correze, Cantal, Aveyron to St-Pons-de-Thomières (Hérault) before turning to the Pyrenees and the Col d’Ares, then straight ahead for the final sprint across Spain until the finish line drawn at the foot of the rock of Gibraltar.
Fifty-one runners (1 + scooter) aged 37-77 years and representing 10 nations are registered for the test and the Japanese will be the largest group with 18 representatives. When they go to France, the survivors of the first third of the race will already have in the legs 1542 km and, among them the French riders will surely be delighted to receive the visit of these stages at home.
The UK’s only competitor is Neil Bryant from Bristol and we will be following his 64 day journey.
There is an opportunity for visitors to register for one or more stages enjoying the support of the organization (refreshments, dinner, accommodation, transport luggage) which costs 70 € per stage (contact the Race Director Ingo Schulze, ultralauf @ ischulze. de).

Ben ça y est, nous voici donc au mois d’août. Sur les cendres encore tièdes des Jeux Olympiques de Londres, la “Trans Europe Footrace” débutera le 19 de ce mois à Skagen, petit port de pêche situé à l’extrême nord du Danemark, au confluent de la Mer du Nord et de la Mer Baltique, où sera donné le départ d’un long footing de 4176 km qui se terminera, si tout va bien, au détroit de Gibraltar. Encore une virée “de la mer à la mer”...

Cette course transcontinentale, la 3e organisée en Europe par les Allemands, traversera la France sur 1330 km du 10 au 30 septembre, sur ses étapes n°23 à 43. La mi-parcours se situera en fin de 30e étape dans le village de Montlevicq (Indre) et le lendemain la caravane fera escale à St-Sulpice-les-Feuilles (Haute-Vienne) à partir d’où le tracé du parcours suivra la route de la Transe Gaule pendant 8 étapes visitant la Creuse, la Corrèze, le Cantal, l’Aveyron jusqu’à St-Pons-de-Thomières (Hérault) avant de bifurquer vers les Pyrénées et le Col d’Ares, puis droit devant pour le sprint final à travers l’Espagne jusqu’à la ligne d’arrivée tracée au pied du rocher de Gibraltar.

Cinquante-et-un coureurs (+ 1 trottinette) âgés de 37 à 77 ans et représentant 10 nations sont inscrits à l’épreuve et les Japonais y seront les plus nombreux avec 18 représentants. Lorsqu’ils entreront en France, les rescapés du premiers tiers de course auront déjà 1542 km dans les jambes et, parmi eux, les coureurs français seront sûrement très heureux de recevoir de la visite sur ces étapes à domicile. Possibilité pour les visiteurs de s’inscrire à 1 ou X étapes en profitant du support de l’organisation (ravitaillements, diner, hébergement, transport bagages) au tarif de 70€ par étape (contacter le Race Direktor Ingo Schulze, ultralauf@ischulze.de).

Today, 12:09 clock precisely, we have reached the 2.5 million million mark. Just imagine: Since 11.03.2001 we have 2.5 million visitors to the website www.transeurope-footrace.org! This represents a monthly average of 19,500 visitors! Of course, in normal months, it is precisely 3-5000 visitors a month. During the race in 2003 and 2009, we came up with over 10,000 visitors DAILY! We will look after the TE-FR 2012? Is it possible to place bets? I'm going for more than 4 million!

This road book is at the next time on this side. 4175,9 km or 2594,9 miles from Skagen/DL to Gibraltar/GBZ. If you want this road book before, so let me know it!

Début novembre 2011, je suis resté quelques jours à GIBRALTAR. C'est un "chaudron aux sorcières"! (« un panier de crabes »). Ainsi, le chronométrage de l’étape sera arrêté à la frontière à La Linea après Gibraltar. Suite à un vœu commun de certains participants, nous ferions environ 5,5 km en commun jusqu’à la pointe du sud, « Europe Point », à une allure confortable. Après avoir profité du point de vue sur l'Afrique, nous prendrions le bus jusqu’à la frontière puis marcherions 800 mètres jusqu’au lieu d’hébergement. La remise des prix aura lieu à l'hôtel ASUR à La Linea.

" A ce jour, la liste d’attente est close. Les coureurs inscrits sur la liste d’attente ont été placés sur la liste active. D’autres numéros de dossards ont été attribués au-delà des numéros de 0 à 50 dans le cas où quelqu’un devait se désister. Dans ce cas chacun conservera le numéro de dossard qui lui a été attribué. Encore quelques coureurs pourront être acceptés."

I have no more the waiting list. But you can furthermore to make an application. So I give you a number across 50. It is possible that I chance later the number between 01 and 50. Some places are still free!

"Very sad to have to announce that Alain Lemarchand (*€) has passed away on July 5th. Alain was a Finisher of Transe Gaule 2005 during which he ran the full distance from start line to finish line together with Christophe Midelet*, his running twin brother. Also a Trans Europe 2009 Finisher, Alain ran 63 of the 64 stages from Bari to North Cape together with Roger Warenghem*€, having long friendly days side by side. Obviously for this kind of man, friendship was always the main thing to take care of, even when running or competing.

Très triste nouvelle que celle de la disparition de notre ami Alain Lemarchand (*€), décédé le 5 juillet. Alain est l'un des 100% de Finishers de cette fameuse Promotion Trans Gaule 2005 qui n'avait compté aucun abandon. Il y avait couru la première étape en compagnie de Christophe Midelet* qu'il ne connaissait pas la veille ...et puis ils avaient continué ainsi tous les deux côte-à-côte, indissociables jusqu'à la Méditerranée où ils furent classés 13e ex-æquo. Depuis, on les appelait "les Jumeaux"... Quatre ans plus tard ils se sont retrouvés sur la Trans-Europe 2009 et c'est aux côtés de Roger Warenghem*€ qu'Alain courra 63 des 64 étapes entre Bari et le Cap Nord. Alain était un garçon sensible et de toute évidence l'amitié restait toujours à ses yeux la chose la plus importante, y compris en course. Salut à toi qui a retrouvé la paix, on ne t'oubliera pas."

Eine sehr traurige Nachricht. Ein guter Freund ist am 5. Juni gestorben. Alain war einer der Förderer des bekannten „TransGaule“. Keiner hat mit seinem Ableben gerechnet. Sein Tod ist, durch den gewählten Freitod, sehr tragisch! Er lief beim „TranseGaule“ zusammen mit Christophe Midelet, den er bis dahin nicht kannte. Sie liefen gemeinsam bis ans Ziel zum Mittelmeer und wurden die unzertrennlichen genannt. Jahre später starteten sie dann, als gute Freunde, beim „TransEurope-FootRace“. Alain war ein sehr sensibler Mann und nahm sich sicherlich viel zu sehr zu Herzen? Wir wünschen dir alle, dass du einen Frieden gefunden hast. Mach es gut, wir werden dich stets in Erinnerung behalten und dich nicht vergessen!

Dear runners and all those involved in the film, some of you will already know that our film about the TEFR09 has found a rental and sales. For some of you we have already promised a DVD of I WANT TO RUN. Now there is the possibility that you could get a simple DVD version from us in the next days. Or one with cover and all that bonus material, etc., as soon as it will be ready. The latter will take some more time, of course. Please understand that we are only able to send you one DVD - no matter what version. Who wants the sales' DVD version, must do anything. You will get the DVD automatically when it is finished. For those who don't want to wait, we ask for an email reply.

On 29th of April Joachim Hauser and I got invited to the »Grenzland-Filmtagen« (»Borderland Film Festival«) that take place in Selb. The information concerning this event was posted on the TE-FR website under the header NEWS and were at the same time an invitation for everyone who'd like to join. Ullrich Zach and his wife took the opportunity and Thomas Wimmer announced his coming for the next day. Selb is a village of 16.000 inhabitants, belongs to the district of Wunsiedel which is in a hilly area called Fichtelgebirge and close to the Czech border.
After a reception with sparkling wine and some nice conservation we enjoyed a movie with the title »I want to run - das härteste Rennen der Welt« (»I want to run - the hardest race of the world«). The film was very impressive and was shown as a documentary of 90 minutes lengths. The main protagonists were Achim Heukemes, Stephane Pelissier, Robert Wimmer, Elke Streicher, Joachim Hauser. Hiroko Okiyama, Andreas Falk and Mattias Bramstang. Director was Achim Michael Hasenberg, who also had responsibility for the script. Camera: Christoph Rose, cut and editing: Andrea Neese, sound and music: Nikodemus Gollnau and Takis Christos Sariannidis.
If you are interested you can find more information here: www.filmband.de/wtr. The movie is going to be brought to the market and we hope - no, we are convinced! - that one or more TV-stations will be interested. After that there should be a DVD, that could be purchased. If you can't wait and are already interested in the DVD,  you can already register for it here: info@filmband.de or christoph.rose@filmband.de.
Again to the movie itself: From my point of view it was very authentic, and the protagonists were full of fairness and respect in what they said about the other contestants and the race. All in all the film was awe-inspiring and brought back the memories - especially of the last two very unforgettable days. Even in the theatre I started to shiver! The howling of the wind, how the participants tried to protect themselves from the cold, the rain jackets that were blowing in the wind, the reindeers and the snow patches. It came to my mind that on that particular day I even kept my car window shut and instead turned the heating up.

Le 29.04.2011 Joachim Hauser et moi-même étions invités aux „Grenzland-Filmtagen“ ("jours cinématographiques des pays limitrophes") à Selb. J’avais déjà donné des informations sur ces „Grenzland-Filmtagen“ sur la page Web de la TransEurope dans la rubrique NEWS et cela faisait aussi office d’invitation. Ullrich Zach avec son épouse ont répondu à cette invitation. Robert Wimmer avait annoncé son arrivée pour le jour suivant. SELB fait partie de l'arrondissement de Wunsiedel dans le Fichtelgebirge (chaîne de moyennes montagnes au nord-est de la Bavière), la circonscription administrative s’étend jusqu’à la frontière tchèque et compte 16.000 habitants. Plus d’informations sur :  www.selb.de.
Après une réception au champagne et quelques conversations, nous avons vu à partir de 18h30 le film  "I want to run - la plus dure course du monde". Ce film a beaucoup impressionné les spectateurs et était monté comme un documentaire d’une longueur de 90 minutes.
Les acteurs principaux du film étaient : Achim Heukemes, Stephane Pelissier, Robert Wimmer, Elke Streicher, Joachim Hauser. Hiroko Okiyama, Andreas Falk et Mattias Bramstang. Mise en scène et scénario de Achim Michael Hasenberg. A la caméra, Christoph Rose. Au montage, Andrea Neese. Son et musique, Nikodemus Gollnau et Takis Christos Sariannidis.
Plus d’informations sur : www.filmband.de/wtr. Le film doit encore être commercialisé et c'est à espérer – à attendre, non - qu'un ou plusieurs diffuseurs de télévision s’y intéressent. Après la commercialisation, si couronnée de succès, un DVD sera produit qui pourra aussi être acheté alors.  Des personnes intéressées peuvent se faire connaître en s’inscrivant dès maintenant sur une liste, à info@filmband.de   ou christoph.rose@filmband.de
Le film est authentique, très réaliste, et les protagonistes se prononcent très correctement et respectueusement à l'égard des suiveurs et de l'organisation. Le film a beaucoup impressionné à tout niveau et a fait se rappeler beaucoup de souvenirs. En particulier les deux derniers jours m'ont remué. Même au cinéma, j'avais l’impression de me geler. C'était le hurlement du vent glacial contre lequel les coureurs essayaient de se protéger, les ponchos pour se protéger de la pluie qui flottaient au vent - ceux-ci ont été bien utiles - les étendues de neige ! Je me rappelle que je n'ouvrais pas les vitres de mon véhicule ces jours-là et que je mettais le chauffage plus fort !

Because of a forthcoming lawsuit with my former partner of the »TE-FR 2009« the name from the race will be changed from »TransEurope-FootRace« into just »Transeurope«. In addition to this the logo will be deleted, too. It has to be established legally whether there is a chance to confound the logo from the »TE-FR 09« with the one from »TE 12«. Actually there might be a chance that they resemble each other a tiny bit, but I doubt that with this I have rendered myself liable ro prosecution. Although my former partner has been - in connection with the »TE-FR 2009« - sentenced to an imprisonment of 1 year with a 3 year probation, it seems that now he wants to get back at me. A pity, cause until now the »TE-FR 2012« has been a great success. Unfortunately my former partner has already been causing me lots of damage and it appears that he doesn't want to stop doing it ... So - in 2012 it will be Ingo on his own - no partner - , together with his well-tried crew ...

Dear Uli, dear Daniela, dear Tabea
Thank you very much for your heart full mail. I and my family are safe. But now, I can not contact any my friends. I feel very sorry. I believe that peace come to Japan. Sometime I remember Uli. In 2009TEFR you were kindness every time for us. Now, I thank you very much again.
With kind regard. And I am sorry that my English mail is not good.
Kazuko

Dear JB
We are safe and all right. Too our parents. But my husband' sister, cousin and aunt live an area that was hit by a great earthquake and earthquake sea wave. We can't contact with them yet. Very worry. Tokyo was an earthquake with a seismic intensity 4. I was on the 5 floor of the building at the earthquake. The building was shaking big and continued a few minutes. I was terrible and scared. In Sanriku area, Ibaragi area is catastrophic damage. Now, After Shock (earthquake after great earthquake) continues frequently. Many house were destroyed and there were heavy casualties. A nuclear plant explosion event happened. Our heart is pained. We pray for the relief and the revival with early moment.
With kind regards
Hiroko

Dear Ingo
Thank you very much for your heart-warming mail. We are safe. It was catastrophic damage in the region where damage was large. Over 1000 dead body were discovered along the coast today. We sorrow a lot by the dead. To tell the truth, my husband's sister, cousin and aunt live this area. We can't contact with them still now. We pray. The nuclear plant explodes by earthquake; it became a very serious problem. (Radioactivity) We pray for this crisis to be got over. Still now, aftershock (earthquake) continues frequently. As it is an electric power shortage, the plan blackout start from tomorrow each area. (3 hours) Our Japanese believe to overcome from national crisis.

Kenji Hara, who participated in the TE-FR 03 and already enrolled in the TE-FR 2012 has passed away on February 17th at the age of 65. He suffered a heart attack. To the participants of the TE-FR he was known as an even-tempered and pleasant runner. With his knowledge in English he very often helped the organizers in communicating with the Japanese participants. I have received the news with dismay and would like to express my condolences and my deep sympathy to his family.

Kenji Hara, Teilnehmer am TE-FR 03 und 09 und gemeldeter Teilnehmer für den TE-FR 2012 ist am 17. Februar im Alter von 65 Jahren verstorben. Er erlitt eine Herzattacke. Die Läufer des TE-FR kannten ihn als ruhigen und angenehmen Laufpartner. Mit seinen guten Englischkenntnissen war er auch immer wieder Vermittler zwischen der Organisation und den japanischen Teilnehmern. Ich habe die Nachricht mit Bestürzung entgegengenommen und kann der Familie nur mein Beileid und tiefes Mitgefühl aussprechen.

The participant, Fabrice Viaud, translatet the German rules in French. Thank you for so lot auf work! It is great!!!

The bestStatements I feel good:
- "The rule that 'if there is pain, you should stop running' is not always correct," Dr. Schütz said.
- MRI scans also showed a reduction of more than 5% of brain volume during the course of the study, Schütz said. The main loss of volume was in the region of the brain where areas of optical associations are located, but subjects tested later found their brains had gone back to normal. Schütz said this could have been because the course went through a forest for four weeks of the race.    

At the website is still the start in Scotland. Please wait for some days. We chanced for start in Skagen!

GERMAN: Die Strecke des TE-FR wird demnächst geändert. Die Änderung ist noch in Planung. Es sind einige Varianten angedacht. Zum Beispiel: Stralsund bis Schönebeck, dann in Richtung Westen, über Belgien nach Frankreich und von dort wieder auf die geplante Route. Oder aber auch von Dänemark über Deutschland, Holland, Belgien nach Frankreich und wieder auf die geplante Route? Joachim Barthelmann wird die Strecke planen und festlegen.

ENGLISH: The course of the TE-FR will be altered soon. The changes are still in a planning stage. There are several alternatives possible.  For example: from Stralsund to Schönebeck, then keeping westward, crossing Belgium to France, from where we follow the original route. Or: starting in Denmark, via Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium to France, from where we again follow the originally planned route. Joachim Barthelmann will be responsible for the planning of the course.

Fans de courses itinérantes à étapes, bonjour,

Ci-dessous une information de Ingo Schulze, organisateur des Trans Europe 2006 et 2009 qui a annoncé le mois dernier qu'une 3ème traversée du Vieux Continent serait organisée en 2012 entre l'Ecosse et Gibraltar.

En résumé, le message précise que le parcours totalisera près de 4000 km pour 64 étapes (environ 62 km/jour) qui traverseront l'Ecosse (10 jours), l'Angleterre (11 jours), la France (21 jours), l'Espagne (21 jours) et enfin Gibraltar (1 jour). Dates: du 19 août au 21 octobre 2012. (le parcours à travers la France sera probablement celui de la Transe Gaule de ROSCOFF à ST-PONS-DE-THOMIERES). Mais l'information la plus importante de ce message est sans doute celle-ci : au 25 novembre, 34 personnes sont déjà pré-inscrites pour 2012 alors que le nombre de participants sera strictement limité à 50.  Autrement dit, si ça vous chatouille il faut prendre contact sans tarder avec Ingo Schulze: ULTRALAUF@ischulze.de.

Joachim Barthelmann is our scout for the Trans Europe race - 4000 km for 64 days, an average of 62 km per day. We plan to spend 10 days in Scotland, 11 days in England, 21 days in France, 21 day in Spain and one day in Gibraltar (Gibraltar is a British territory). We will run: 3 stages over 40 km, 23 stages over 50 km, 25 stages over 60 km, 10 stages over 70 km, 2 stages over 80 km and the last stage under 10 km, although small changes to stage distances are still possible. START: August 19th in John O’Groats, Scotland. FINISH: October 21st in Gibraltar. Today (November 23rd), I have 27 participants on my list. Once we reach 50 participants, the list will close!

The next TE-FR ist from August to Oktober 2012. From John ò Groats (Scottland) to Gibraltar about 64 days

The vegetation seemed as in high mountains or as January in Germany. In a Mail to participants and supporter I described the last two stages. I gladly pass these information on also to interested one. Joachim Barthelmann has completed the exploration of the route. He has calculated a distance of exactly 4487,4 kilometers or 2788,4 miles. We also took a lot of pictures of the North. Sebastian will upload them to the homepage of the TE-FR soon. Participants and supporters should bear in mind warm clothes beside mosquito repellent / protection/ prevention.

Dal 10 aprile al 21 giugno 2009 avrá luogo il TE-FR. 65 partecipanti provenienti da 12 Paesi si sono registrati. Saranno attraversati Italia, Austria, Germania, Svezia, Finlandia e Norvegia. Sarebbe molto bello e importante per il TE-FR che ci fossero partecipanti attivi di tutti i Paesi attraversati. Dove sono gli Italiani ? Anche se il campo é giá strapieno ci sará in ogni caso almeno un posto riservato per un corridore italiano. Ci sará un Italiano al TE-FR ?

We've just been back from the trip to Italy which was quite successful. Start for the TE-FR 2009 will be at a marina. Next to it, in the Stadio della Vittoria, there is a gym which will be availabe to us from April 17th. The address is Via Maratona. The opening ceremony could be located just opposite the stadium, on the other side of the road. During the next days some pictures of the accomodation and of the area where the start will take place will be published on the website. By the beginning of June the excact lenght of the race will be announced as Joachim Barthelmann and his wife Brigitte will then have measured the remaining distance from Italy to Germany.

The waiting list is immediately closed. Waiting ones, which carried their prepayment out, were transferred to the active list. No more registrations are received until further notice. The number of participants increased thus to 65. By appropriate losses the final number of participants will settle down to approximately 50.

Änderungen in der Teilnahmebedingung:
Artikel 15: Die Schlafunterlage darf maximal 80 cm breit sein. Eine Doppelliege, in der Regel 137 cm wird NICHT akzeptiert!
Artikel 16: Beim Gesamtgewicht des Gepäcks, wird das Gewicht des Zeltes NICHT mitgerechnet!

english:
Changes of the Competition Regulations:
Paragraph 15: Camping-mat or sleeping pad may be broad maximum 80 cm. A full-size bed, usually 137 cm is not allowed.
in addition to Paragraph 16: with the total weight of the luggage, the weight of the tent is not taken into account!

The next Deutschlandlauf is between 2010, Monday the 06th to Wednesday, the 22nd

Through the fact, that quite a lot surely will, cause of many different reasons, cancel again, these thirteen can be considered to be one of the participants. However, still legitimate chances exist for some further applicants. Furthermore: 2008 I offer the “Deutschlandlauf” of 1205 km in 17 stages. This competition is advisable for the TE-FR participants, who still miss the experience of long stage races.

For November 17. Ingo had invited runners to the 1st information meeting in Horb for the "TransEurope- FootRace 2009" where 39 people showed up. Amongst them were Joachim Hauser, Franz Häusler, Hans-Jürgen Schlotter and Robert Wimmer, four finishers of the 2003 TE-FR from Lisbon to Moscow. A few pre-registered runners for the 2009 TE-FR came from as far away as Sweden, Bremen, Holland and Berlin.

Into the three hours of official business Ingo packed lots of information such as his intimate knowledge of "shoe & sock" experience. Joachim Barthelmann as the route master explained the routing and Robert Wimmer as the 2003 winner explained about his physiological preparation for the 2003 TE-FR. One of the shortest stages will be run after the crossing from Kiel (Germany) to Goeteburg (Sweden) and one of the longest will be the one next to the last stage, with 90 km to be run in unlit tunnels. Joachim Barthelmann said at one stage in Sweden he went a total of 47 km without seeing a bit of civilisation, 47 km only endless, none-feature stretches. These stages will create a physiological challenge for runners, but here they can almost "smell" the finish line.
                  
One of the so far unsolved problems will be the discard/disposal of used paper cups. Upon closer inspection it seems we won't be able to avoid getting about 30,000 paper cups and the eventual discard after their use. Ingo and team are debating of usage of  multi-use cups, which then will have to be rewashed. If anyone has another brilliant, conservation-friendly idea, Ingo would love to hear about it.

This time Ingo has created a company together with the Horb "promoter"  Karl-Heinz Neff to market the 2009 "TE-FR" Mr. Neff, together with a marketing firm will lead the marketing effort. The search for eventual sponsors is still in full swing of how to transfer Ingos "Adventure TR-FR" to an event.

There are currently 12 participants on the waiting list and many more express their interest. These were kept further more in a file. But only for those, who made a down payment of 800 euros things look quite hopeful. According to the list Jan Nabuurs is the following participant.

Through the fact, that quite a lot surely will, cause of many different reasons, cancel again, these twelve can be considered to be one of the participants. However, still legitimate chances exist for some further applicants. Furthermore: 2008 I offer the “Deutschlandlauf” of 1205 km in 17 stages. This competition is advisable for the TE-FR participants, who still miss the experience of long stage races.

Joachim and Brigitte Barthelmann are back home from their scouting trip. They discover the route from the 26 th stage till North Cape. The 33rd stage ends at Kiel. The ferry leaves at 7pm and arrives in Göteborg at 9 in the morning. We take care that the stages till and from the ferry will be short. From here on begins an area of forest and lakes, which helps leaving the strain behind. Or not! An elk or reindeer might come across and behind the polar circle the days become long and lonely. There’s no romantic sunset. Europe ends at the steep coast of the North Cape. The second part from Bari to the 25th stage will be discovered in mai 2008. The whole distance will be relative exactly 4500km. this would match a daily route of 70km. we recommend something against mosquitoes. Gällivare is in the region contaminated with the most mosquitoes in Sweden. People were measuring up to 3300 mosquitoes per square meter at the border of the Sjauna Moor. Since 2003 exists a museum for mosquitoes.

There are 53 names of interested runners on the waiting list. Quite a few are certainly be written down in the first euphoria for the race. Several names can be probably canceled in mind, since they don't bring the qualifications. EIGHT interested runners have achieved the demanded deposit and stand therefore at the very top on the waiting list. It is in the turn:  
01 Shoji Koneda, Japan  
02 Yasuhiri Asai, Japan  
03 Tsuyoshi Sugawara, Japan  
04 Theo Kijpers, Netherlands  
05 Jan Nabuurs, Netherlands
06 Takasumi Senoh, Japan  
07 Yasuwasa Namikoshi, Japan  
08 Jenni De Groot, Netherlands
through the fact, that quite a lot surely will, cause of many different reasons, cancel again, these eight can be considered to be one of the participants. However, still legitimate chances exist for some further runners.
furthermore: 2007 and 2008 I also offer the "Deutschlandlauf" of 1205 kms in 17 stages. This race is also helpful for the TE-FR participants, who still need experiences in multi-day-races!
