http://www.xcmag.com/2013/03/red-bull-x-alps-2013-new-route-is-longest-yet-at-1000-km-long/
The Red Bull X-Alps 2013 is to be the biggest yet, with organisers
announcing that the route is now more than 1,000km long as the crow flies. At
1,031 km long the course is almost 20% 167km longer than the 2011 race,
which was 864km as the crow flies. Athletes who complete the 1,031km 2013 race
could well travel over 2,000km by foot and paraglider to get to Monaco, making
the 2013 race the hardest yet. The race starts on 7 July 2013, and will last for around two weeks. http://jonrchambers.blogspot.ch/2013/03/the-route-in-3d.html
