Mens Open Day Relay starting now at 9:00 with NTNUI in the lead of a group of 12 teams within 2 minutes. The mass start this morning means that e.g. IFK Göteborg team 3 has to break away more than two minutes from NTNUI to win the overall Danish Spring Relay. We are looking forward to the fight. In the Women Open Relay, starting 9:30, OK Pan Århus has a lead of 16 minutes after a excellent 2. leg by Ida the Unbeatable Bobach -  but a lot can happen in the tricky parts of Store Dyrehave. So nothing is settled before around 12 o’clock today! We are looking forward to a great battle in all classes! The prizes will be cool Danish Spring Buffs, nice sponsor prizes from SSport and gift vouchers for O-butikken in the youth classes.

General web-updates are struggling due internet problems. But WebTV is Live now and we promise you results, winsplits, videos and pictures after the races. Already now you can reenjoy Danish Spring Chase and Night Relay in the DS Live-menu and in the results.  Winsplits will follow early next week.

Thanks to all competitors for making The Danish Spring Chase just as intense as we hoped! Johan Runesson - Göteborg-Majorna, Tue Lassen - Faaborg OK  and Ola Martner - Göteborg-Majorna took the lead in Mens Elite, with Norwegian Eskil Kinneberg, Borger Melsom and Håkon Westergård as the best Juniors. After a fantastic race Lina Strand was unfortunately trapped in the last last small loop and  Ida Bobach, Silkeborg OK, won the race in front of Annica Gustafsson - FK Lidingö and Ita Klingenberg - DEN-Faaborg OK, also being the best Junior, followed by Stine Bagger Hagner and Miri Thrane Ødum.

Reenjoy the race in the results and on WebTV, Youtube and Picasa via the DS Live-menu!

Unfortunately we do not have internet connection right now, but we will bring occasional updates.

The winners of the Danish Spring Relay in the classes Women Open and Men Open will take respectively 5000 and 7000 DKK (1000 DKK per leg)! The winner is the team with the best overall result in the separate Night and Day Relays. The mass start in the Day relay means that you have to run really FAST if you lost some time in the Night Relay. We look forward to the fight!

For the second best teams and in all the other races and classes the prizes will be cool Danish Spring Buffs

Welcome all from Poland, Germany, Belgium, Finland, Norway, Schweden and Denmark. Largest on the starting line will be Göteborg-Majorna OK, dominating in Spring Cup 2011. Most recently also the Norwegian junior elite has entered the races. See all runners in the preliminary startlists.
