To Belgium, To Belgium!



This is our third World Championship we have had the opportunity to attend for the Ultra Marathon. Our travels will take us to Belgium this time. We will start our Belgian journey first in the little town of Torhout which is about 30 minutes south of Bruges. The race will begin and end in Torhout and starts on Friday evening June 19th - yes, that's right - its a night race. The start time is 8 pm local time.




Following the race, Rick and I will spend 4 days in and around Bruges, hoping to see some the the World War One and Two Memorials as well as the quaint medieval town of Bruges. The last two days of our trip we will check out Brussels.




This will be an excellent adventure both for running and touring! As we tour we will toast you all with the great Belgian beer we will be sampling!




Cheers!!
