Anyone going there from Bleu Nord?
Yup - two of us. One a runner (he'll be off like a greyhound) and me with my borked knee limping around. No one else in our group can be convinced. The proposal was met with a mixture of derision and blue language. Is it worth setting a meeting time and point from Bleu Nord?
My friend and I are both wanting to run the track
We are staying on the 1st Tickets Bleu Nord site. I see a few others have said they are on BN, but not if its the 1st tickets bit.
Either way, BN runners, shall we meet somewhere and head up together. It's our first time to the 24hrs so we will be having to find our way to the running team, probably set off from BN at 7.45am.
Any particularly good/easy places to meet??

My mate is planning on running it and we’re on Maison Blanche... I’m going to drive him round to Antares roundabout for the start so if you two want walk into our camp (via entrance near big wheel) and turn right down to the burgundy Defender and stickered Octavia I can give you all a ride from Bleu Nord up to there if you want?We are staying on the 1st Tickets Bleu Nord site.

I'm up for this, always wanted the Le Mans circuit map on my running route history!
That's a big reason why I did it last year ! Got split up from the main group and was stopped at the end of the pit straight and sent through the back of the village and over the dunlop bridge rather than under it annoyingly

Fantastic effort from everyone. There were some anal ACO staff trying to stop us at the Dunlop bridge, but they eventually relented. I was bringing up the rear just to make sure everyone got back safely . Finished about 1hr 25mins. That did take in a leisurely walk past the pits and a poke around the corvette display at Mulsanne corner. So not too bad for nearly 9 miles.
Same time, same place next year.
I will see if the ACO can make it an official event, maybe for a charity of choice next year.
Then we can include some sponsored running shirts
Thanks everyone, a really good turn out.

Thanks for organising this, I really enjoyed the run but never realised how steep the circuit is going up to Dunlop Bridge! I think the idea of making it an official charity event is a great idea for next yearSame time, same place next year.
