Don’t wait any longer, come and exceed your limits by taking part in the Ultra-Trail® Côte d’Azur Mercantour!

See you for its 12th edition!

The ULTRA-TRAIL CÔTE D’AZUR MERCANTOUR:
A UNIQUE DECOR!

It’s vertical drop and technical nature make it one of the toughest trails in the world!

The 125km competitors will set off from the Principality of Monaco!

The runners will set off in the direction of the Authion and the mythical Col de Turini, made famous by the Monte-Carlo Rally. Another lovely nod to the links that unite the Alpes Maritimes department and the Principality of Monaco. With sections at an altitude of almost 3,000m, the end of the route in the Mercantour Massif promises a complete change of scenery before finishing in the very typical village of Saint Martin Vésubie, “the little Switzerland of Nice”…

The other races, starting and finishing in Saint Martin Vésubie, will not be outdone with a very mountainous profile and sections on ridge lines at an altitude of over 2,500m.
All with breathtaking views of the coastline. A 10km trail will give less experienced trail runners a chance to sample the joys of trail running on a more accessible course.
