The 101 km course climbs 6,685 meters clockwise, starting and finishing in Grindelwald. It's located in Bernese Oberland near Interlaken. This is a very scenic and nice area, I've been there before. The trails there are very tough for a flatlander like me.

The course profile looks pretty steep, it seems to be going either straight up or straight down all the time. The highest peak is Faulhorn at 2,680 meters.
There will be many famous participants like Oscar Perez (Tor des Geants 2012 winner), Julia Böttger (winner of Canadien Death Race 2012). Ueli Steck, Eiger North Face Speed Record (2h47min) holder, is the Ambassador of the event.

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you too! Sorry I don't speak Spanish, but I checked out your blog with Google Translate and noticed you have done UTMB and Lavaredo, 2 races on my bucket list. What races are you planning to do in 2013? I hope you have a successful year 2013!
Hey there,
I hope to meet you in Grindelwald. I've signed up for the E101. Not sure if I can meet the cutoff time but I'll try. I ran the CCC 2012 but finished an hour+ later than you.
Regards,
Gavin
Hey thanks for taking time to comment Gavin. I'm looking forward to the race, although I believe the course is challenging. See you there in July!
