Focus on the course:

Here it is, the Trail de Haute Provence awaits you, a race that promises to push you to your limits while offering you breathtaking views! Departure from the village of Forcalquier, the atmosphere is electric, and you feel ready to take on the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence massifs.

The first few kilometres are an appetiser, but it's from the 40th that things get serious with a 500m climb and the first base camp looming in the distance, at kilometre 48. And there, you're only a third of the way through this exhilarating event.

The section between kilometer 60 and 120 is going to be tough (you're going to suffer), but also seriously impressive. You'll be treated to the lunar landscapes of the Montagne de Lure, with breathtaking views at every turn! And there, it's mainly your mental strength and all your training sessions that will be put to the test. Fortunately, there will be well-deserved breaks at kilometers 90 and 120 to regain your strength.

Then, you will have the last 40 kilometers, where each step will bring you a little closer to the finish, but where vigilance will remain essential. The trails become more technical, taking you through enchanting undergrowth before emerging at the Notre-Dame de Lure Abbey, with its majestic trees, and slaloming between the thousand-year-old stone villages of Mourres. And finally, a final straight line awaits you to reach the starting point in Forcalquier, exhausted but fulfilled by this unforgettable adventure.
