The 125 km athletes received a newsletter this morning informing them of a major change in their race schedule!
In order to improve the completion rate of the 125 km and allow for extended cut-offs, we are are excited to announce that we change the 125 km departure times to 2 waves, now on Friday afternoon:
1:00 p.m. : Start of the 1st wave (less than 20 hours)
2:00 p.m. : Start of the 2nd wave (more than 20 hours)
Athletes' overall experience improved
In addition to getting to run the most beautiful section of the course in daytime (the first 30 kilometers), the majority of athletes will finish the next day in daylight, where the athletes will enjoy and also contribute to a livelier atmosphere at the finish line and on the main site.
We believe that your overall experience will be improved with :
time to chill and enjoy the main site with the other runners on Saturday
beautiful views along all of the first section of the race
a good night's rest on Saturday evening
more lively start on Friday afternoon
better sleep before the race
less stress to get to the starting line
extended cut-offs to allow more runners to achieve their goals
