New this year: Relay format for the Défi du Chéry.

Want to take on Mont Chéry? Break your Strava record? We’ve got a 380D+ vertical run for you to complete in a loop over 4 hours to accumulate as much positive vertical drop as possible!

The descent will be by gondola (TC Chéry) to spare your joints and allow you to catch your breath.

4 hours of racing against the clock, pushing yourself to the limit and enjoying the thrill of the ride… Just thinking about it sends your cardio into a panic and your quads into a tizzy!

Warning: this race is physically demanding. It is recommended that you have some previous mountain running experience before taking part.
