Just had an email from Mr Highland Events, Terry Davis, giving a heads up on the early bird rate for the Northburn100- New Zealand’s only mountain 100mile foot race. In 3 short years the Northburn 100mile has established its self as one of the burliest 100miel foot races- anywhere. A true test for ultra mountain runners, the 100mile course has over 9000mD+ and always has a real mix of Central Otago, later summer weather (sunshine, rain, snow, gale winds and warm temps).
And remember- Northburn is way more than just 100miles- 100km, 50km, 1/2 marathon, kids races and 5 and 10km night races are all on offer!
BCR will be at NB100 again next year- and don’t worry, our early bird fees for our Friday pre race group run and coffee in Cromwell will not be increasing
And below we have a bunch of links for this years race to get you pimped for the 2014 race! (And have embed Tegyn Angel’s short video “Darkness” above)
“Hi guys – just a friendly reminder that the early bird rate for next years Northburn events will be finishing on the 1st October in a couple of weeks time.Click here to enter now.
If you’re keen to come back for more it is quite a bit cheaper to enter now. If injury or circumstances changes and it turns out you can’t we’re happy to hold over your entry until the next year or give you a refund (less 20%).
Thanks very much to all of you who have already entered.
After 3 years of ‘high’ winds the law of averages would suggest we are in for a nice calm one next year! We know that will take away a lot of the fun for some of you but it will make for a novel experience anyway.
OK, thanks for reading, we look forward to seeing many of you again in 6month!
Terry, Lisa, Tom and the team”
