Jeg har altid været et aktivt sport

Jeg har altid været et aktivt sportsmenneske. Jeg kan godt lide nye oplevelser og spændende udfordringer og derfor har jeg prøvet en del forskellige sportsgrene og motionsformer. De senere år har jeg således deltaget i et par korte Adventure Races i Århus – Coast Zone Challenge på 3 eller 6 timer. Det har været nogle rigtig sjove oplevelser, hvor alle kunne være med, og de har i den grad åbnet mine øjne for mere af samme slags. Så derfor har jeg ledt efter et spændende Adventure Race at deltage i – et som er lidt længere end de 6 timer jeg allerede har prøvet. Her faldt jeg i 2011 over Coast To Coast Scotland, et løb over to dage med mange kilometer på Mountainbike, Trail Run og også lidt kajak. En fed tur i flot natur, der faktisk også så opnåelig ud, uden at man skulle være overmenneske for at deltage. Jeg var tændt!!! Økonomi og logistik blev dog en begrænsning, da det ikke ville være helt billigt at transportere mig selv og cykel til udkants Skotland. Men Coast To Coast ville jeg! Så måtte jeg jo selv arrangere et Coast To Coast. Og hvorfor ikke i skønne Jylland!? Ricki, min kollega og partner i dette projekt, kom med på ideen, som derefter tog fast form.
Som sagt så gjort. Efter flere afteners ruteplanlægning, booking af vandrehjem og kajakker samt mange andre mindre udfordringer, var vi 13 der drog tværs over Jylland 26. og 27. august 2011. Endda med servicevogn og depot undervejs.

Vi lagde ud med knap 6 km løb i Marselisskoven og Mindeparken. Herefter nappede vi Marselis mountainbike ruten inden vi, stadig på cyklerne, tog en 70 km lang og naturskøn rute til Silkeborg, hvor kajakkerne ventede. Efter knap 5 km kajak var dag 1 slut og mange forkrampede ben kunne hvile på vandrehjemmet. Dag 2 startede med at cykle til Nordskoven i Silkeborg og en 11 km lang, teknisk svær mountainbikerute ventede os. Med fare for siddesår, snuppede vi derefter 150 km zig zaggende tværs over Jylland til endemålet: Hvide Sande. Men her var det ikke helt slut. For vi skulle løbe de ca. 2 km til stranden, hvor vores livs bedste dukkert ventede! De sidste 2 km løb retur til vandrehjemmet var dermed også afslutningen på 14 timers aktivitet over de to dage.

Og det var så det…… TROEDE vi i det mindste. For gennem mit netværk, viste Midtjyske Medier interesse for at være med til at arrangere et løb i 2012. Det ville være som skræddersyet, da Midtjyske Medier har redaktioner hele vejen over Jylland. Så i planlægningen af 2012 udgaven, fandt vi det oplagt at lægge turen igennem Århus, Viborg, Holstebro og Lemvig. Lars Norup, som er chefredaktør på Viborg Folkeblad, har været samarbejds- og sparringspartner i processen med at skabe det som du ser resultatet af på denne hjemmeside – Coast To Coast 2012.

I have always been an active sports person. I like new experiences and exciting challenges and therefore I have tried all kinds of sports and exercise forms. In recent years I have participated in a few short adventure races in Aarhus - coast zone challenge at 3 or 6 hours. it's been a really fun experience where everyone could participate,and has certainly opened my eyes to more of the same. so therefore I have been looking for an exciting adventure race to join in - one that is slightly longer than the 6 hours I've already tried. I came here in 2011 over the coast to coast scotland, a race over two days with many miles of mountain biking, trail run and also a little kayak. a great trip in beautiful nature, that actually so obtainable,without having to be superhuman to participate. I was on! Economy and logistics were, however, a limitation as it would not be quite cheap to transport myself and the bike to the fringe Scotland. but coast to coast would! so I had to self-organize a coast to coast. and why not in great Jutland!? ricki, my colleague and partner in this project, came with the idea,who then took solid form.
as I said then done. after night set route planning, booking of hostels and kayaks as well as many other smaller challenges, we were 13 who came across Jutland 26 and 27 August 2011. even with a service vehicle and depot along the way.

we started out with just under 6 km race in Marselis forest and memorial park. then nipped we Marselis mountain bike route before westill on the bikes, took a 70 km long and scenic route to Buffalo, NY, where the kayaks were waiting. After just 5 km kayak was Day 1 ended and many uptight legs could rest at the hostel. Day 2 started with cycling to the north woods of Silkeborg and an 11 km long, technically difficult mountain route awaited us. at the risk of pressure sores,snatched we then 150 km zig zagging across Jutland to the ultimate goal: white true. but here it was not quite over. we had to run the approx. 2 km to the beach, where our life's best dip waited! past 2 km run back to the hostel was thus also the end of 14 hours of activity over the two days.

and that was it ...... we thought at least. through my networkshowed central Jutland media interest in helping to organize a race in 2012. it would be as tailored as central Jutland media newsrooms all the way across Jutland. so in the planning of the 2012 edition, we found it natural to put the trip through Aarhus, Viborg, holstebro and lemvig. lars norup as editor of viborg Folkeblad,has been cooperative and partner in the process of creating it as you see the result of our website - coast to coast 2012.

In recent years I have participated in a few short Adventure Races in Aarhus – Coast Zone Challenge at 3 or 6 hours. It has been some really fun experiences where everyone could join in, and they have opened my eyes to so much more of the same kind. So that is why I have been looking for an exciting Adventure Race to participate in – one which is slightly longer than the 6 hours I've already tried. Here I fell in 2011 of Coast To Coast Scotland, a race over two days with many kilometers of mountain biking, Trail Run, and also a little Kayak. A bold trip in beautiful nature, actually also so open out, without one would be more than human in order to participate. I was turned on!!! Economy and logistics was, however, a restriction, since it would not be quite cheap to transport myself and bike for peripheral Scotland. But Coast To Coast I would! Then I had to even arrange a Coast To Coast. And why not in the beauty of Jutland!? Ricki, my colleague and partner in this project, came with the idea, which then took the solid form.
As said so done. After multiple afteners route planning, booking of hostels and kayaks as well as many other smaller challenges, we were 13 who went across the Jutland 26. and 27. august 2011. Even with service vehicle and depot along the way.

We started off with button 6 km race in Marselisskoven and Memorial Park. Then we nipped Marselis mountain bike the route before, still on the bikes, took a 70 km long and scenic route to Silkeborg, where kayaks waited. After barely 5 km kayak was day 1 over and many forkrampede ben could rest at the hostel. Day 2 started with cycling to Nordskoven in Silkeborg and a 11 km long, technically difficult mountain route awaited us. At the risk of sores, We then took 150 km zig zaggende across Jutland to the ultimate goal: Hvide Sande. But here it was not quite over. Because we had to run the approximately 2 km to the beach, where our life best dip awaited! The last 2 km races return to the hostel was thus also end on 14 hours of activity over the two days.

and that was that ... ... We thought at least. For through my network, showed in the mid Jutland Media interest in order to help to arrange a race in 2012. It would be like tailored, since in the mid Jutland media editorial boards all the way over Jutland. So in planning the 2012 Edition, we found it natural to put the trip through the Aarhus, Viborg, Holstebro, Lemvig.
