Indeed, unlike the snowshoeing course which goes into the hills behind the museum, the running course remains on the so-called great plain. This allows spectators to follow the athletes more easily and to have a front row seat in case of a hot battle for first place.<\/p>\n<p>On the sporting side, this will allow tired runners to feel encouraged by the public for longer, and above all, to finish with the &#8220;easiest&#8221; of the five events.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6239 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/pentathlondesneiges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/PDN23_Nouvelles-pastilles-1024x204.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/PDN23_Nouvelles-pastilles-1024x204.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/PDN23_Nouvelles-pastilles-300x60.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/PDN23_Nouvelles-pastilles-768x153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/PDN23_Nouvelles-pastilles.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the rumor is true, and some of you with a sharp eye have already noticed on our website: the finish is now the runner!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6236"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6241,"href":"https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6236\/revisions\/6241"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pentathlondesneiges.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
