The quarter turn of the lake
A men's start, a women's start on a new course
What! It's not possible to reinvent the 1/4 de tOur? Yes, yes, you'll see...
We'll be offering you a completely new 1/4 tOur du lac, a concept that was tested and approved several years ago, but which we had left dormant.
This year, the tOur du lac will run in the opposite direction to previous editions, i.e. clockwise. This means that the Quart de tOur du lac will also run in the opposite direction. With a start in Le Semnoz and a finish in Annecy, the Quart de tOur will be a "Negative Trail", as the course will be mostly downhill.

Bib recovery: how does it work?
To limit overcrowding and large gatherings, we have set up time slots for Bibs pickup Bibs reservations can be made from April 23 to May 22).
We have allocated 30% more spots than the number of registered participants and have doubled the number of available time slots compared to previous editions, to offer 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 have made your choice, you can change it before the response deadline (May 22).
- 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.
