at 12H30 GMT
It is with deep sadness that Race Director Patrick
Bauer and all the organisation of MARATHON DES
SABLES informs you of the death of Bernard Julé from
France, N°53, today 29.03.07 at 06H35.
Bernard
Julé was found unconscious by his
tent-mates at 6H30 this morning. The organisation’s
medical team was called immediately and confirmed
his death.
Bernard Julé had run a good course
from the beginning. He had sought no medical aid
and
his medical file showed no risk factor.
According
to his tent-mates, Bernard had run the 70km long
stage well, finishing at 18h30 yesterday.
He arrived in very good spirits. At 3H30 this morning
he woke up to welcome his mates back to the bivouac.
Patrick
Bauer, the organisation and the competitors extend
their warmest sympathy to Bernard’s
family and friends.
