We work with the Passion For Sports / SQM Time registration module. You can register several runners at the same time and AFTER registration, you can modify them yourself via your PFS account.

The start and finish are located at Hotel Wolf in Markstein
(Route des Crêtes, Le Markstein).

A parking area is available 500 m from the start (please follow the signs).
Please do not park opposite the start area, inside the start area, or next to “La Bulle”.
This area is a security zone for the start of the participants.

The start location is difficult to access by public transport.
We strongly recommend carpooling as much as possible, out of respect for the environment.

Since the 2024 edition, we have been working with the association Les Amis de Luisa.
They help us with various tasks during the event: aid stations, bag deposit, signposting, etc.

In order to support them, we ask all participants to donate a minimum of one euro to the association when they register. You can of course donate more. All donations will go to Amis de Luisa, whose aim is to help children with multiple disabilities and their families.
