In volunteer mode! Impressive big organisation! Great atmosphere and a really enjoyable mission!
Every mission makes you feel appreciated and needed! Thank you so much for the attention you give to our volunteers!
Lots of people!!! but what an atmosphere!!! In both formats this year, volunteers and runners, come and join us for 2026. Don't hesitate to opt for the 3 loops, 1 to warm up with the crowd, 1 to place yourself, 1 final to drop everything :-).
