Maxi-Race

The Maxi Race lives up to its name. From 3 km for kids to 115 km for the craziest among you; solo, in a duo or in a quartet, you're bound to find what you're looking for. All this in a splendid setting that combines mountains, lakes, green forests and adorable villages. So, are you ready to discover Haute-Savoie?

What you will find there:

• The Maxi Village: 1000 m2 of exhibitors passionate about outdoor sports;
• A 27.59 km² pure lake to dip your sore little feet in at the end of the race;
• A luggage storage service, a locker, showers, endless refreshments (during the races and at the finish), toilets, you'll be like a rooster in pastry;
• Parking and shuttles to access the departure areas;

Focus on the course:

Whatever your race, you're going to be amazed by the view. The surroundings of Annecy and its Bout du Lac nature reserve are renowned for offering breathtaking landscapes. Mountain fan, plains runner, freshwater fisherman? You'll have something to feast your eyes on.

Are you a fan of long distances? Take on Lake Annecy in a marathon format, 61 km or 94 km (aka the “Maxi Race”).

Hungry for adventure? The Shokz-Marathon-Race is for you: 58 km of new course every year. Stay tuned until the last minute to discover the next route! Don't be afraid to think big. Be ambitious. Because even in the middle of the race, you have the right to a joker 😏. Yes, the organizers have thought of everything. A sudden drop in speed? At the intersection, take the shortcut option to shave off a few kilometers. It's called the "toggle". Sure, you'll have a small penalty at the finish, but it's still better than the PLS on the side of the road. So don't hesitate to challenge yourself!

For short trails, choose the Quart de Tour (16 km) to tread what will serve as the support for the European Up&Down Mountain Running Championships. Stylish. And if you want to concentrate on your Indiana Jones soul, two orienteering races await you. 10 km or 20 km of compass and: “I TOLD YOU we should have turned LEFT”.

On your runs, refreshments in “all you can eat buffet” mode await you: water, tea, energy drink, fresh fruit, dried fruit, bread, cheese, chips, pizza, biscuits, chocolate and so on. Our advice: RESIST so you don’t 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 on 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.
