Every year, a race takes place along the Great Divide route. This year, the race will be starting just one week before we begin our attempt. This means that as well as getting to watch some of the racers, we might also be able to get some expert advice on the route, gear and all kinds of other Divide-related stuff.
The organisers have put together a great website with loads of pictures and useful links - have a look here http://tourdivide.org/ and check back during the event for real time updates.
