The quart de tour du lac

A 100% male-led " Race "

A 100% Women's " Race "

What! Is it really not possible to reinvent the 1/4 of a turn? Yes, yes…

Once again, we’ll be offering a completely innovative 1/4-lap tour of the lake—a concept that was tested and approved several years ago, but which we had put on hold...

 

For this distance, there will be two separate races: the men's Race and the women's Race .

 

This year, the tOur du lac will therefore follow a route in the opposite direction from previous editions—that is, clockwise. This means that the Quart de tOur du lac will also follow a reverse route. Starting at Semnoz and finishing in Annecy, the Quart de tOur will be a “Negative Trail” since the course will be mostly downhill.

Bib recovery: how does it work?

We have allocated 30% more slots than the number of registrants to give you greater flexibility in choosing your time slot.

Please note the following information:

  • For each Race, several slots are available with limited numbers of places, so the earlier you make your choice, the more possibilities you'll have.
  • As long as a time slot is displayed, it means there are still spots available. Once you’ve made your selection, REMEMBER TO SUBMIT (at the bottom of the form)!!! Otherwise, your selection won’t be saved!!!
  • Once you've made a choice, you can change it before the response deadline (May 21).
  • Because of the possibility of changing slots, it is possible that a full slot will be reopened, but the organization has no visibility on this.
