Transport of bag for the night from saturday to sunday for XL and XXL-Race

The bivouac option that was previously offered is not available this year because the Doussard gymnasium is no longer accessible due to the damage caused by last year's storm. However, for XL and XXL runers, we can carry a bag of 90-litres and 15 kilos maximum in Doussard or Giez instead of their Dropbag.

On day 2, runners will have to let this bag before the start of the race in Doussard and will be abble to picked up at the MaXi-Village.
