It could happen, but isn't that going to be the supported, RAAM-type stuff? If I wanted to make money, I'd put on that type of event because people will pay more if they get a little bit more, and if they are paying for a crew, won't notice a big entry ticket. Obviously we wouldn't go for that because we are all a bit weird and revel in the hardship of unsupported, but most people are not like that! So I reckon the unsupported ultra segment should be safe. I hope!
There is the Race Across Europe, which is trying to be that kind of thing, with some high entry fees as well, but it's not really caught on.
