Die IAU sucht den Ultraläufer des Jahres 2010 (und natürlich die Ultraläuferin) - und jeder kann bei der Abstimmung mitmachen. Es gibt dazu zwei Mailadressen, an die man zw. dem 26. Januar (heute) und dem 04. Februar (nächste Woche Freitag) seine Stimme schicken kann.

Mit auf der Liste der nominierten Frauen steht mit Julia Fatton (ehemals Alter) ein DUV-Fördergruppenmitglied, das 2010 unter anderem neuen deutschen Rekord über 48 Stunden lief. Hier ist ihr Eintrag in unserer Statistikdatenbank

Und hier ist die Original-Mail der IAU, in der Ihr auch die beiden Mailadressen findet:
