The time has finally come again! Next weekend, September 08-10,
the Pirate team championships will take place within the framework
of the 3rd international P-Weg Marathon weekend in Plettenberg.The
skull and crossbones will be flying high over this little town
in the Sauerland again.
Over 40 bloodthirsty buccaneers are registered for the different
races in Plettenberg. Once again, the BSN-Pirate Team will be
making up the largest team of the event. "Let's get ready to
rumble", will be the battle cry on Sunday morning, when Captain
Ron sends his buccaneers on a pillaging mission to take over
the podium in the overall ranking this year.
Entertainment off the tracks has also been arranged. A colorful
supporting program of live bands, DJs, etc., will make sure
that the atmosphere will be awesome all around.
Let us not forget our Pirate host Dimi, who will take care of
the Pirates, when it comes to their free time.
By the way, Dimi solidarized with the team riders and so his
crew will be wearing pink t-shirts.
As always the Pirates will have a gym for sleeping at their
disposal starting Friday. This year breakfast will not be served
in bed for organizational reasons. However, a big morning meal
will be offered to everyone from 6am on at the youth center
in the center of town.
This year, over 2000 athletes will be hitting the tracks. On
Saturday the first ultra runners (41.6m/67km and 6890 vertical
ft/2100hm) will start their race at 6am and the marathon runners
will follow.
On Sunday, the MTB race (53m/86km) will begin at 9am and the
28m riders will start at 10am.
Plettenberg is the target. Let's go on a raid!
