What Makes It Great

Beginning in Roubion, a cliffside village at the edge of Mercantour National Park, this 109km route links the scenic ridgelines between the Tinée and Vésubie valleys before making a sustained southward push toward the Mediterranean. With 5,400m of cumulative climbing through alpine forests and Nice's typical scrubland, runners experience a remarkable landscape transition over the 30-hour race before finishing on the Promenade des Anglais.
