A 2-day tour of the lake
A 2-day adventure
We'd like to make you aware of the difficulty of the tOur du lac course!
The 2-Day Lake Tour will not follow the exact same route as the Lake Tour. On the first day, you’ll follow the same route as the Lake Tour. However, on the second day, you’ll follow the route of the Half Lake Tour, which is why the distance is longer than that of the 1-Day Lake Tour.
We remind you that if you are out of time on Day 1, you will not be able to leave Doussard on Day 2.
Once again this year, the Tour du Lac will follow a clockwise route.
The first mountain to climb on Day 1 will therefore be the Massif du Veyrier; the routes will be adapted to accommodate the fact that we’ll be passing through it at night and during the early stages of the race. For most of you, sunrise will take place at a spot with a magical panoramic view. On Day 2, a few kilometers from the finish line and just before the final aid station, you’ll enjoy a 360° view, followed by a descent to the lakeshore to reach the finish line.

Bib recovery: how does it work?
To limit overcrowding and large gatherings, we have set up time slots for picking up “ Bibs ” (reservations can be made from April 23 to May 21).
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.
PLEASE NOTE: You will not be able to access the gym where race Bibs are picked up Bibs a stroller, as there are stairs.
Access to refuelling/assistance areas
- On the Day 1 route, there are two light refreshment areas where support teams and accompanying persons will not be allowed. There will also be a "base camp" area in Doussard, where the finish line for Day 1 will be located. To get to Doussard, we recommend traveling by MaXi-Car or bicycle.
- The runner starting in Annecy will not be able to see or have an assistant or support person on Day 1, before the finish on Day 1, which is around 50km and 3500 m of positive ascent. That's the spirit of the MaXi-Race: to be autonomous in managing your needs and motivation.
- On the Day 2 route, there will be a base camp at Semnoz and two water stations before the base camp.
- At the base camps, assistants and chaperones can get there using the MaXi-Car option (which can be purchased through the online store or on-site) or by their own means (bike, car, etc.).
