What Makes It Great

A four-person team relay covering 160 kilometers and 8,370 meters of climbing across Réunion Island, starting alongside the Diagonale des Fous at 10 PM from Saint-Pierre. Teams divide the route between members and share the journey north through the island's UNESCO World Heritage terrain — volcanic cirques, dense forest, and technical ridgelines — finishing at the Stade de la Redoute in Saint-Denis. No ITRA qualifying points are required for the relay, though significant trail experience is strongly recommended for all members.
