Reviewed information

Preparation and points to check

Race-day instructions

  • The 2026 table names relay exchanges at km 14.5, 46.6 and 85.5. These differ from the new 2027 format: do not transfer 2027 two- or three-runner teams or rules to 2026.
  • Full track published and linked from the relay page by MaXi-Race; no runner section is cropped or reconstructed. Alex aid is solo-only; Montremont is marked for all races.

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.
  • The common 2026 table publishes cutoffs without a separate cutoff column per format. These are retained as common-table cutoffs; 2026 timing rules and team sizes remain unconfirmed.
  • 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.
