TDS

The end of August promises to be tough and competitive for the entrants in the two trail races, the TDS© and the UTMB©. Come and support the runners !

IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE DUKES OF SAVOIE (TDS)

Wednesday 28 August

The challenge facing the runners in this essential stage is a trail race of about 145km, «Courmayeur-Chamonix» and 9100m of positive height differential !

The runners will be testing themselves through remote scenery along the long-distance walking trails (the grande randonnées) in the regions of Mont Blanc, the Aosta Valley, the Upper Tarentaise and the Beaufortain.

Starting in Courmayeur at 4 o’clock in the morning, the trail runners will be passing through Bourg Saint Maurice at the beginning of the morning, with the fastest reaching Chamonix the same evening and the numerous “other finishers” the following day. A proper competitive challenge !
