KV de la Mayt

3.7 km / 930 m climb

Friday 25 July 2025

Explosive KV

Lightning ascent

This weekend’s 100% trail race kicks off with the most explosive effort format: the vertical kilometre. The start is from the village of Vars Sainte-Marie with a rapid initial ascent to Lac de Peyrol, the intermediate point on the course. The second part of the race gets tougher with the climb towards the sommet de la Mayt where the runners will have to manage their effort. The reward: a panoramic view of the Alpine arc.

This route is much more than a challenge, it’s a unique adventure to experience!

The KV is part of the 3 formats challenge
