Time to get the trainers out and turn our thoughts to summer with this timed trail run, hill climb solo or in relay. The positive height gain is 810m, over six hours you do the maximum number of laps uphill on foot on a marked walking trail.

Celebrate the end of winter with this challenge: do as many loops of a set course between Bourg St Maurice and Arcs 1600 in six hours.

The route: 5.1km distance and 817m of elevation gain and descent by funicular - to save your knees. This challenge can be tackled individually or in a team of two. 

There is also a fastest individual climb category for the speediest time from Bourg to Arcs 1600, and a youth race from Les Granges to Les Arcs with a less brutal elevation gain of 421m over 4.3km.

Where and when

A six hour trail run from Bourg Saint Maurice to Les Arcs 1600.
