Jann Friis Søndergaard sends news of a new 100 mile race in Denmark !! The event takes place on 6 – 7 July 2007. My Danish isnt very good even with an online translator but it looks like the organisers were inspired by World Runner, Jesper Olsen who will be running the race. Any questions send an email to the organisers who speak English.
