There are no “podiums”; all runners, from first to last, receive the same finisher’s prize and are treated equally (there are no elite “ Bibs ” in these race formats).
*The exact distances and elevation gains depend on your watch's settings
The DNA of the adidas MaXi-Race
More than just an experience, the adidas MaXi-Race is an opportunitytotravel, seekadventure, and discover yourself and unique landscapes. Whether you’re runningsolo or in a relay, whatever your level and goals—fromultras to intermediate distances andshort trails—we offer routes that will let youexplore the mountains while enjoying Lake Annecy. As you traverseunique and unspoiled trails, you’ll discoverexceptional views of the lakewhile immersing yourself in theculture and treasures of Haute-Savoie.
In its early years, the “ Race ” was organized by a handful of runners who had come together under the DSN74 association. Over the years, the ranks have grown, and now nearly twenty local sports and non-sports organizations are involved in the event. Today, the adidas MaXi-Race brings together about thirty passionate runners throughout the year and more than 750 volunteers during the final stretch.
Over the years, the adidas MaXi-Race has evolved to allow all runners, regardless of their background or performance level, to achieve their goals in a breathtaking setting. Each edition is an opportunity to incorporate new themes, allowing us to stay true to our values and our runners. For example, at our event, every form of participation counts—that’s why we launched MaXi-Inclusivity.
