Mediterranen Open Championship 2007 to start in March
Directly from the PWT experience, here it is without any doubt the biggest competition in the Mediterranean area and a good training opportunity for the coming O-season. As a matter of fact, the runners who took part last year at MOC for their winter preparation had good results at the WOC in Denmark (Kaisa Nilsson, Claus Bloch, Michal Smola, Dana Brozkova and others).
In 2005 the Elite winners were David Brickhill-Jones and Jeva Sargautyte (Puglia)
In 2006 the Elite winners were Michal Smola and Dana Brozkova (Sicily and Basilicata)
In 2007 there will be the third edition of MOC. Three races are programmed:
Friday, March 9 - Middle distance / forest / New map
Saturday, March 10 - Long distance / forest / New map
Sunday, March 11 - Sprint distance / park / New map
Total prize money for H/D Elite: 3.000 euro (800, 450, 250)
+ On Saturday, March 17, we will arrange a PWT-style sprint race, the Mediterranean Grand Prix. The competition will be held in an old town centre and the total prize money is 2.600 euro for the Elite classes (500, 300, 200, 150, 100, 50)
+ a huge free banquet for everybody after the Grand Prix
