Has the race “24 hours of Champigneulles” (54) been a success for our visual deficient athletes of the Ultra-Fond?
This morning about 11 o'clock the organizers of “the Champigneulles Ultra-Fond” announced the end of the race by sounding a squib kick.
This first edition has kept all its promises. Indeed, bodied people roamed 214 Kms for men while the ladies, for the best of them, just over 182 Kms.
Let's go back to our athletes deprived of sight. Odile Hochard, already holder of the best world performance with a little more than169 Kms, took part in the event.
Around 11 o'clock, at the end of the event, she pushed her record, after a Dantesque start, at a little more than 172 Kms. During this time, the guy from Dijon, Jean Claude Perronnet, also embarrassed by the cloudbursts at the start of the race, ran a little more than 160 Kms during these 24 hours.
Welcome the new world performance of our friend Odile Hochard, and congratulate Jean Claude for this distance!
The next edition of Champigneulles will take place in 2018; hope that our friends Odile and Jean-Claude will be again at the start of the race to improve their personal performance.
