In Ardèche (located between the south of Lyon and the north of Marseille), in a gorgeous landscape of gentle and steeper slopes shaded by forests of chestnut trees, will take place in June 2024 the "Chaussée des Géants" trail race.

This area, known by sports fanatics for its climbing, canoeing or mountain-biking opportunities, will now be the setting for a demanding race aimed to delight eyes and feet alike.

Runners will have a choice of 3 itineraries over distances of:

• 51km (32 miles) (the 51Km race earns you points to UTMB!),
• 20km (12.4 miles),
• 10km (6.2 miles).

We invite you to come and tread the Ardéchois trails by team of 2.

You will have the choice between two challenges :

• The long challenge: 1 runner on the 51km test + 1 runner on the 20km test
• The short challenge: 1 runner on the 20 km test + 1 runner on the 10km test

Varied terrain and panoramas make the race very interesting!

The races are open to experienced runners.

Registration can be completed either by mail or online.

The race regulations will be soon available in English.

In Thueyts where the race will begin and end, accommodation can be found for all budgets : hotels, campsites, bed and breakfasts, holiday rentals...
