Crimean sotka vs. X-Crimea 2008

In following days off (from October, 3 till October, 5th 2008) in Crimea will take place at once two adventure races (an extreme-marathons). It " the Crimean sotka " and "X-Crimea". Hundreds tourists will gather near Angarsk pass to run, pass, creep(run, take place, creep) one hundred-other(hundred-another;hundred-others) kilometers for incomplete 3 days.

I do not know for what reasons, but two these races occur(happen) simultaneously and many fans of tourism face to a hard choice - Where to go?

Let's try to compare these two actions.

"X-Crimea" - applies for a rank of the main thing Crimean an extreme of a marathon. Competitions go in three classes (one another more difficultly), race abounds with technical stages. Participants move not only on foot, but also on bicycles, improvised plavsredstvah, on cords and steep rocks. Observance of rules is watched(kept up) by small army of the field judges who are on duty on control points and technical stages. Careful sponsors provide with advertising production of all) and prizes (only winners). The saving service of Crimea as always supervises and rescues numerous participants (than 500 person is expected more). In general - scales of an event impress.

"The Crimean sotka " - action some other format. Here there are no prizes and sponsors. There are no punchers on KP and field judges. Is not present zubodrobilnyh technical obstacles. Groups simply go on a route and as the proof are photographed on a background of the set objects. As a whole reminds a hike, instead of sports orientation more and more. In particular participants objazyvajut to sleep at night (instead of to run), to carry with itself tent, sleeping bags and other bivachnoe equipment. In other marathons many participants I refuse a dream, high-grade meal and comfort for the sake of the prompt passage of a distance. In " the Crimean sotka ", as you can see, other priorities.

Here such they - the Crimean marathons. If feel ready to similar tests - do not yawn, submit applications. Registration of commands(teams) comes to the end one of these days. More in detail about conditions of participation read on sites of races: www.x-crimea.com and crimea100.narod.ru
