Napoleon Ultra 2012 - our start list

A group of seasoned ultrarunning internationals are now less than two months away from running between Moscow and Paris - without leaving the Lone Star State. They will cover 230 miles along East Texas roads during the first week of December.


The starting line-up includes five runners from five different countries who are already transcontinental runners. German Klaus Neumann and Jenni de Groot from Holland are the two most recent sign-ups. They join multiday legends - Gérard Denis (France) and Don Winkley (USA), plus Christian Marti from Switzerland who is currently less than three weeks away from completing his second Trans Europe footrace.

The female runners comprise Ursula Marti, Rachel Wasilewski and Claire Secker. Completing our P'tite Armée are three more fine Frenchmen: Xavier Servel, Romain Valle and Loire Intégrale race director Dominique Chaillou.
