GR20 en 5 Jours
12th to 16th September
Spent last week jogging along the GR20 hiking trail across Corsica in 5 days. The route is around 180km with 12,000m ascent, and the event was organised by Cap Orn - fairly low-key with just 12 runners.
My plan was to complete the course in under 30 hours, but in fact could only manage 31 hours 46 minutes. Each day I was finishing around 2 hours before the second runner, and often arrived before the organisation staff had driven round. Fantastic wild country, but pretty difficult for running much of the time.
