Endurance Race
No qualification or ITRA points required to enter the race.
Mt. Blanc Summit Race event is considered an "Endurance Run" and as such it is not considered a competitive event but rather a life accomplishment. We will record finish times and award top finishers but the accomplishment of the participants in running it is in the experience of it, not how fast you can finish it. Therefore, the spirit of the event is captured in the journey, rather than in each participant's end result.

Course Markings
We pride ourselves in choosing our race courses extremely well.
Part of the course is marked trails and arrow signs, others consist mostly of unmarked foot path along the route.
Although there are marked trails in some areas, Summit Racers will encounter sections with little to no markings due to natural causes, glacier traverses, tampering, or differences in course marking styles.
Participants will need to know how to navigate and read a map for obvious and safety reasons.
Please note that on the Mt. Blanc SummitRace course:
There are very exposed sections, dangerous cliffs, gletcher traverses, crevasses, mud and rock fall, snakes, wildlife, and other hazards throughout the route.
Participants should have ultra altitude/distance experience, be incredibly well cold trained as well as physical and technical in top conditions. Please consider all these factors before registering for this event.
