Maxi-Race

The Maxi Race lives up to its name. From 3 km for kids to 115 km for the craziest; solo, duo or quartet, whether you are a mountain fan, a plains runner or a freshwater fish, you will have something to enjoy in the surroundings of Annecy and its Bout du Lac nature reserve.

What you will find on site:

• The Maxi Village: 1000 m2 of exhibitors passionate about outdoor sports;

• A pure lake of 27.59 km² to soak your little sore feet after the race;

• Luggage storage, lockers, showers, endless refreshments, toilets, in short, you will be like a rooster in pastry;

• Car parks and shuttles to access the departure areas;

Course focus :

Are you a fan of long distances? Try the marathon format, 61 km or 94 km (aka the “Maxi Race”). Hungry for adventure? The Shokz-Marathon-Race is for you: 58 km of a new course every year. And don't be afraid to think big. At worst, you're entitled to a "shortcut" joker in the middle of the race 😏. So don't hesitate to challenge yourself! 

As for short trails, the Quart de Tour (16 km) takes you to the course of the European Up&Down Mountain Running Championships. Stylish. Finally, two orienteering races await you. 10 km or 20 km of compass and: “I TOLD YOU to turn LEFT”. 

Let’s not forget the “all you can eat buffet” refreshments await you: water, energy drinks, biscuits, cheese, chocolate... Our advice: take it easy or you’ll regret your bite too many 1 km further on.

3 reasons to participate:

• To prove to yourself that you are capable of anything. No obstacle is too great.

• The extraordinary life experience. But really. Have you ever admired the sunrise alone at the top of a mountain in the middle of a nature reserve? Me, no.

• Tread the course of the European “Off-Road” Championships which take place from May 30 to June 2.
