Where to...race: Les 3 Pistes [updated]


Just few days ago has been opened the registration for the 26th edition of Le Trophée des 3 Pistes.
This is one of the most famous race in the world. Why is it so famous? Because it is a 3 competition days on 3 runways with banked curves, with 162 teams which 85 out of France (from Europe and America).
The 2012 schedule is:
  • Saturday April 7th, Pibrac
  • Sunday April 8th, Valence d’Agen
  • Monday April 9th, Gujan-Mestras
I joined the race in 2004. It has been the most amazing and crazy race I have ever done. The track is overcrowded of racers who speaks different languages and these conditions create an unique experience. Every skaters should try this competition at least one time in their life!

[update]

The organization confirmed me that the registration before 5th March is FREE for non-French athletes. This is one more reason to go!
