The French Vertical Running Championship is one of the must-attend events of the Trail season. Find out everything you need to know about this legendary Vertical Kilometer event and check out the results from the last edition!
The French Vertical Running Championship doesn’t always take place in the same location! Each year, the French Athletics Federation (FFA) designates a city : it selects a benchmark race already listed on the calendar to incorporate the quest for the national title. That’s how the championship travels across mainland France 🧳. After getting hearts racing in Orcières, then in Val-d'Isère, it’s Méribel Mottaret that will host the next French Vertical Running Championships.
