The DNA of adidas terrex MaXi-Race

More than an experience, the adidas TERREX MaXi-Race is a pretext for travel, adventure, self-discovery and unique landscapes. Solo or in relays, whatever your level and objectives, from ultra to intermediate distances and short trails, we offer you routes that will allow you toevolve in the mountains while enjoying Lake Annecy. You'll discover unique, unspoilt trails and exceptional views of the lake, while soaking up the culture and treasures of Haute-Savoie.

In the early years, the Race was organized by a handful of runners within the DSN74 association. Over the years, the ranks have swelled, and there are now some fifteen local sporting and non-sporting associations involved in the event. Today, the adidas TERREX MaXi-Race brings together around fifteen enthusiastic runners all year round, and over 600 volunteers on the home straight. 

Over the years, the adidas TERREX MaXi-Race has evolved to enable all runners, whatever their profile and performance level, to achieve their goals in a majestic setting. Each edition is an opportunity to integrate new themes, enabling us to stay as close as possible to our values and our runners. For example, on our event, all forms of participation count, which is why we launched MaXi-Inclusivity.

New village info

The location of MaXi-Village will change again in 2026.
Indeed, following constructive work with certain elected officials from the town of Annecy, we have been able to determine a suitable location for MaXi-Village over the coming years. The location will be communicated to you by the end of the year, while we refine certain details (but it will obviously remain in Annecy and close to the lake).

See you on the adidas terrex MaXi-Race!
