Marathon Running - The Grand Raid Reunion.

Ray thought you might be interested in this race ..,when it happens this year -The Grand Raid of Reunion.

Reunion an island in the Indian Ocean a department of France Anybody interested in the Tour De France might be interested in this a very tough Marathon Run taking place on a tropical island which is also a little bit of France. Worth a visit if going to Mauritius or Singapore.

(Reunion has an one inactive and one very active Volcano last eruption this or last year but the run takes place over the extinct volcano.)

163km run or 2 other shorter runs part of the run includes run up over the edge of the extinct volcano about 8000 feet?  when we were there runners were coming up over the edge at nightfall and the run down the sides,zigzagging,  with head torches, into the little town in the middle of the  volcano in the dark was spectacular. 

3 Day Run takes place about about 22 to 25 October.

Realise, we're not friends anymore Vivity, but just saw this, thank you. I do know of its existence, but can't go.

However I'm certainly looking forward to L’Etape Australia by  Tour de France which is coming to New South Wales in 2016. First Tour de France event to be held in Australia!
