Preparation and points to check

Race-day instructions

  • The organizer track displays 39.88 km, 1,713 m ascent and 1,756 m descent. The catalogue displays metrics calculated from the downloaded file.
  • The 2026 menu confirms aid at Semnoz and the finish, but its 2026 distance has not been confirmed. No position is invented on the profile.

Checks before the start

  • Read the documents for your edition and check your assigned wave.
  • Plan self-sufficiency between stations and respect crew-support zones.
  • Check equipment and any activated weather kits before starting.

Differences and information still uncertain

These items are shown explicitly so an approximation is never presented as official data.

  • 2026 course reference. Current pages and regulations concern 2027: their schedules, categories and new rules are not imported as 2026 rules.
  • No 2026 marathon cutoff table was found in the official media consulted. Cutoffs from the 2027 document are not transferred to 2026.
  • Exact medical stations, food stocks and intermediate coordinates are unconfirmed. No service absent from the sources is invented.
  • The equipment table dates from September 2025 with no printed edition year. Check updates and weather-kit activation; blank cells do not mean a prohibition.
