We have had a really strong entry from overseas this year, including over 100 runners from Ireland, just under 100 from Norway, large groups from France, Switzerland, Sweden and Finland, as well as runners from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Ukraine and the United States. The "Norwegians" include quite a few British, French and Swiss running for their Norwegian clubs. The Middle distance World Champion from 2006 Holger Hott is running M21E, and I've also spotted that four-time World Relay Champion Tore Sagvolden has entered M45L.
