Persik - 1969-2001
Friday September 10 2010
One of the most famously hard rides in Europe will take place tomorrow in southern France for the 30th time: the 160-km Florac. It is also the pre-ride for next year's European Championship. This region of The Cevennes is known as "Persik's Land" - named after the famous endurance Arabian stallion and sire Persik, who was the only horse to win Florac twice, in 1975 and 1976.
The course is one big loop over 6 stages, beginning at Ispagnac at 500 meters (1600 ft), travelling through the Cevennes National Park, climbing to Mont Aigoual, at 1567 meters (5141 ft) and eventually returning back to Ispagnac for the finish.
Despite the 350 Euro entry fee, approximately 87 foreign riders have been entered, hailing from Bahrain, Qatar, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Slovakia, Spain, Norway, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Uruguay, Brazil, and Russia. 92 French riders are entered, for a total of 179 horses and riders.
The start is tomorrow morning at 4 AM.

Les 160 km de FLORAC
En route pour le championnat d'Europe 2011The FEI has had a meeting on April the 18th and came to a decision in favour of the french candidature for the European Championship : the “160km of Florac” will receive in 2011 the Open European Senior Endurance Championship!!
This means the Florac ride will be Test Ride for this championship in 2010, to allow the FEI technicians and all european and non-european teams to scout.
Lozere Endurance Equestre (LEE), organizer of the 160 Km of Florac has devised a series of point-to-point phases, partially new, a specific raid for this European Championship, true to the traditional values of endurance: stamina, horsemanship, sports ethic, respect for the horse’s physical well-being and morale.
The 160km ride of Florac, initially planified for July, has been postponed to autumn. The FEI considers that the test ride should take place in the same conditions as the championship itself. In consequence, the test ride will take on the 11th of September, as a part of the Florac endurance week. We can now continue the organization with all the needed serenity.
In 2010 Lozere Endurance Equestre will focus on the organization of the Test ride for the European Championship, to get the best possible quality of ride, so there will be no 130km ride (CEI2* and CEN2*) in 2010, only the 160km (CEI3* and CEN3*).
