- You will be staying 3 nights in the same hotel, no need to move from one place to the other! The hotel we reserved is the Kyriad Hotel in Pau Lons.
- After the race, you will meet our staff and cool down with a drink and a good serving of pasta! Youíll be able to take a shower and put some fresh clothes on before returning to your hotel by bus.
