Details
A changed parcours for the Championnat, starting & finishing at Petrin! A NEW challenge for trailers in the short & long categories.
Brisee Le Roi path has a TECHNICAL descent which means that inexperienced trailers MUST have GOOD GRIP shoes. The three short, tricky sections have ropes for your security. There are guava trees all along the descent, which your CAN USE AS HANDHOLDS. TAKE CARE, GO SLOW IF YOU ARE UNSURE, but a really great path, in the deepest gorges. Appreciate the 3 cascades and views.
The Long Championnat race is ITRA-registered and so all finishers have their race recorded and their international ranking updated.
