Just had a quick look at the start lists and can't see any British teams. Are the Brits all running for their Scandinavian clubs?

just like to say theres absoultly no snow in the forest,and the ground coverage is just jobby hot at the moment after da winter!!!LIGHTNING!!! and dont jobby a brick if some one shouts at ya in the forest!!
AVE IT!! ALL OF YA RUNNING

[gg]

I think that translates to theres no snow, and nothing on the forest floor, so the race will be rather fast.

Run fast!

but i could be wrong...

We did north Stockholm training last night and that was mental enough in the lightning fast forests - can't wait to magnify it by a few hundreds! Hopefully no 20 minute search for an illusive boulder on Saturday though Getting excited now!

Excited and scared all at once

Great stuff - always good to have runners to follow. Am I right in thinking you can track runners on the internet? I seem to recall having it on my big screen in my IT room last year, widening Year 10s experience of course!

this year tiomila is being broadcast live on swedish sports plus 8 (the ocho) and i think their coverage is going out live on the internet as well.

note that this year the last leg might be shortened in order to fit in with the broadcasting schedule. also they are starting it later than usual (11pm) (too expensive to buy saturday night tv???) which mean the finish is later than usual (~10am BST i think, could be wrong)

not heard anything about gps tracking though.

Tracking med GPS-sändare
Det blir obligatoriskt att bära GPS-sändare för löpare i 20 lag på damernas sträcka 5 och på herrarnas sträckor 2, 4, 7 och 10.
Tävlingsledningen beslutar senast 1 timme före aktuell sträckas start vilka lag som ska bära sändare. Om lag nekar till att bära sändare, utesluts laget omedelbart ur tävlingen.

[distracted]

and in 'English'

TRACKING WITH GPS-TRANSMITTER
It becomes compulsory to carry GPS-transmitter for runners in 20 teams on the Women’s relay, leg 5 and on the Men’s relay, leg 2,4,7 and 10. The competition management decides latest 1 hour before current leg start which teams that will carry the transmitter. If teams deny to carrying the transmitter, the team immediate is eliminated from the competition.

The finish is at "approximately" 8:57 (presumably they're one hour ahead, so about 8am BST)
