Explosive KV

Lightning ascent

This weekend’s 100% trail race kicks off with the most explosive format: the vertical kilometer. The start is from the village of Vars Sainte-Marie , with a rapid initial ascent to Lac de Peyrol, the course’s intermediate point. The second part of the race gets tougher with the climb to the summit of La Mayt , where runners will have to manage their effort. The reward: a panoramic view of the Alps.

Much more than a challenge, this course is a unique adventure!

The KV is part of the 3 formats challenge
