Trail des Veneurs

by Bernd, posted in Marathon, Trail races

A trip to the Ardennes for a nice little preparation race: Trail des Veneurs (42km, 1900m alt. gain). The field was small, around 100 runners for the longest distance of the first edition of this race (beside 16km and 32km). Starting line was on a cow paddock, still a swamp from the recent rain, perfect beginning for a trail run with wet socks :-).
