Any-one up for a trip to europe next year to win some cash (and pay for the trip) A few years ago a few of us won 400 swiss francs at the matterhornlauf in switzerland. The prize money paid for the flights. Dark Peak won 1000 francs at the same race. See the attatched link:http://www.matterhornlauf.ch/
This one also appeals - http://www.inferno.ch/index.php?page=285 - uphill only, finishes at 3,000 meters.
The "biggies" like Sierre Zinal offer more sunstantial prize money, but attract the superstars accordingly. We are just back from the jungfrau marathon http://www.jungfrau-marathon.ch/ws/jm/en/marathon/ - this had a first prize of 10K francs.
Aside from any winnings such week-ends are good craic - and can be cheap if expenes are shares such as hire cars etc. If enough of us go it could be in the club champs.

I'm always up for these continental races. I did the cross du mont blanc last year and the atmosphere was amazing. The food on offer at the feed stations was mind blowing. Lets just say you could of had 10 sit down buffets in the course of a half marathon. Count me in!

Excellent. It's the warm tea that always gets me - particularly when you spill it on yourself.
Lets avoid any club championship races or other activities next year - and see whats available.

By "avoid club races" I meant lets not organise anything that clashes with anything organised by the club - I intend to do the championships next year - my comment was not a call not to do the championships!
Apologies if I was not clear....
Just thinking about this race today actually. I was there a few years ago and it was a great event, especially at the North Wall bar afterwards! Couldn't enter due to other commitments - big hill to climb the next day!
Would be very interested in doing it, although bing a long term holidayer (teacher) I could spend longer out there.
