Vannes
"It has been a damned nice thing - the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life...By God! I don't think it would have done if I had not been there".
Ok, I have taken a bit of a liberty with The Duke of Wellingtons quote after Waterloo, but hopefully it got your attention.
The Marathon de Vannes is again on the horizon, this year it is being staged over the weekend of the 16th & 17th of October. There are three races to choose from on the Sunday; Le Marathon, Le Duo de l'Hermine - which is a relay over the full marathon distance for two, and Le Foulees du Golfe a 13k race.
So far we have two teams entered for the duo and the chairman contemplating another long training period to do the marathon.
Last year we had five runners taking part, and had a great weekend trying out the local beers, cider, raw meat, chips and some more beer. Have a look at the website and see if it inspires you for a long weekend with a difference. www.marathon-vannes.com
