Trail des 6 cols
TRAIL DES 6 COLS - 41KM 3350M D+ (SOLO & DUO)
UTMB® WORLD SERIES QUALIFIER
RACE DESCRIPTION
Shorter doesn’t mean easier on this race. Indeed, there are fewer kilometres on the counter of this race, compared to the “Grand Parcours” of Odlo High Trail Vanoise but it doesn’t mean less intensity for the racers. The winners will be the fittest and the most physically and mentally prepared. This shorter trail will offer the best views all along the trail: the Grande Sassière nature reserve, the climbing of the Aiguille Pers ( 3386 meters high ) the passage of the Lessières tunnel (original and unique passage of the tunnel at 3000 meters high).
Departure on Saturday the 10th of July 2021 at 7:30 (NEW TIME) in front of the club des sports
CONTINUING IN 2023! THE “2-PERSON RACE” ON THE T6C
After carefully listening to our runners, we will offer a “2-person-race” on the T6C. This will allow a team ranking. Remember that the 2-person-race will have to arrive together at every time checkpoints. If it is not the case, time penalties will be added to their final time.
