Fancy a night sprint in Disneyland Paris?

[O lady]

New event just posted in the Paris schedule ......

Saturday 29 September
Afternoon, Bri'O Tour Race 1: Middle Distance: Val Maubue
Night, Bri'O Tour Race 2: Sprint: Disneyland, Marne La Vallee

Sunday 30 September
Morning, Bri'O Tour Race 3: Middle Distance: Provins, Ville Haute - medieval town with ramparts and walls, see http://www.provins.net/

No further details yet.

Saturday races both on RER Line A stations so easy to get to.
Provins is 50ish km SE of Disneyland but accessible by bus from Disneyland on the Saturday evening (last bus goes at 22:20 and takes an hour so would depend on start times) or by train from Paris Est (takes 1hr 25mins; 8:46 train on Sunday morning arrives at 10:10 then 10:46 and every hour).
In short you can stay in central Paris and do the whole weekend on the train.

OK, I can stand it no longer.

Will this urban event be a micky mouse competition?

Recieved this info from organisers, so looks like public ransport not feasible, so maybe hire cars!? How many people are thinking of going?

"All the registration information will be soon on our website.

As foreigners, you wil be able to send us the registration form. Then
payment will be done onsite.

About public transportation, it wil be easy for first and final races, but
for Disneylandland more difficult (last train is 00:20 AM...and race
departure probably from bout 11h30 PM to 1:00 AM...there a night bus to
Paris...but it's just a bus...if it's possible, we will plan
"public-transported runners" as early as possible...but without any
guaranty. Perhaps we will open a blog to promote carpooling."

See you

Thanks SYOTony, the details to date didn't give that info about the night sprint start times. That will be a "petit problem" for us locals too, esp those of us who live on the west side of Paris.

We just picked up a flyer at this weekend's French middle distance champs with the website details:

It has fairly basic info at present.
