Le grand raid Réunion

No need to introduce the Grand Raid de la Réunion, a flagship trail running event which includes the famous Diagonale des Fous.

What you will find there:

• 5 races of 50, 70, 100, 151 and 170 km, and between 2,500 and 10,500 m of D ;

• Courses as magnificent as they are demanding, an unparalleled feeling of freedom, the opportunity to become one with your environment;

• An entire island turned towards this grandiose event;

• A well-oiled organization like only Reunion Island has the secret.

Focus on the course:

A monument of ultra trail created in 1989, the Grand Raid de la Réunion brings together some of the best trail runners on the planet every year. For the occasion, the entire island of Réunion vibrates to the rhythm of merciless races that overcome the most enduring athletes. But it's really so cool, huh!

And while we're mainly talking about the Diagonale des Fous, the Grand Raid offers 4 other equally delicious distances. Depending on the route you choose, you'll have the chance to admire the lush cirques of Mafate and Cilaos and run at the foot of the Piton Des Neiges. Don't skip training: they don't call it "the hell of the Diag" for nothing!

PS: take a little wool with you to spend the night. The thermostat drops at high speed.

3 (super) reasons to participate:

• A legendary event to experience once in your life;

• The opportunity to discover the magnificent landscapes of Reunion;

• The Reunion Island atmosphere. Music, human warmth, mutual aid, gastronomy… the whole island plays the game!
