La 6000D en relais à 3

A total course of 69km to be RUN BY 3.
The route takes runners from the village of Aime in the valley to the summit of Live 3000 at an altitude of 3050m, passing through the high altitude resorts of Grande Plagne before descending through the forest at Montchavin les Coches and finishing along the Isère. A high-flying, signposted route, 95% on paths and tracks.

The 6000D atmosphere
For this 33rd year, a large and enthusiastic public will be cheering you on all along the 6000D course, on SATURDAY 29 JULY 2023 for the 6000D, the 6000D 3-man relay (new) and on FRIDAY 28 JULY 2023 for the 6D Lakes.
Access to the Roche de Mio / Col de la Chiaupe / Live 3000 cable car will be open this summer to encourage the runners at a preferential rate.

To keep as close as possible to the spirit of the Trail, there are only 5 refreshment points (food and drink) and 3 water points (drinks only) over the 69 km. A camel bag or water bottle holder is strongly recommended.
Self-sufficiency is recommended.
