Raid Caneo Nature Course Revealed

The course for the first edition of Raid Caneo Nature has been revealed, seven days before the start of the race. The teams competing can now start to map out the route in detail.

A number of diagrams have been supplied for the horse riding on the first stage and also on the canyoning and caving sections. Many of the sections have minimum times set to avoid tiring out the horses and also to reduce the chance of accidents involving competitors.

Support crews have also been issued with a road book to enable them to reach the various transition area along the route to the coast.

The issuing of the route a week in advance of the start is a departure from the norm for Gerard Fusil, normally teams have a scant few hours to prepare their navigation and support teams spend much time drawing out the routes on later stages.
