Twelve alpine loops with personal GPS timing
The loop begins in the village before climbing above the hotel, crossing a short gravel or natural path and returning downhill. Repeating that terrain makes controlled climbing and descending more relevant than a flat-road pace target. Track completed laps deliberately and follow the final measured course, even if your watch reaches marathon distance before the required loops are finished.
The rules require every runner to wear a GPS watch and provide the recorded time, distance and bib number to the timekeeper afterward. Charge the device, check recording settings and confirm the submission procedure before starting. A private watch result alone is not the same as having the organizer record an official finish.
A small start-area station is planned, but the organizer tells runners to bring their own supplies. Use the repeated access to prepare labelled nutrition and clothing that you can retrieve efficiently within the permitted area. Carry or leave only what the rules allow, bring a reusable cup if suitable, and keep the village and paths free of litter.
The event publishes no time limit, but it also says there is no on-site ambulance, medical service or traffic-marshalling team. Decide whether those arrangements fit your needs and confirm how to obtain help. The alpine location can have cold, wet or residual snowy sections in May. Check current conditions, choose suitable footwear and clothing, and stop rather than treating an open-ended clock as a reason to continue when unwell.
