It's in the region <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/8a62ee87-b57d-4ece-8d19-67e8026f5793" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes</a>, in the heart of the mountains of <a href="kavval://level2AdminAreas/7e9221ee-f39b-4d4a-ae79-22657ffe4c50" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cantal</a>, in the <a href="kavval://places/cbd45d13-80f0-4194-a933-78d8ba5e5cce" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Massif Central</a> 🏔️, where the Lioran station 📍 is located. It largely extends over the highest commune of the <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vall%C3%A9e_de_l%27Alagnon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alagnon valley</a>, <a href="kavval://cities/fe49fa76-72ce-4ca6-ba8c-3e6cad0e040d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Laveissière</a>. This station, nestled among fir trees 🌲 and the <a href="kavval://places/917f1e36-25a8-42a6-97b8-15e4c9a268c3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Park</a> 🌋, hosts the fourth edition 🥳 of the <a href="kavval://events/4c4e70e1-4c19-429a-b3d3-9037514c29eb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">4 x 1800 Trail</a>. Organized by the "Lioran Sports Club", this race offers you 5 different events in mid-<a href="kavval://pages/04e935ac-7571-4414-950d-297f4acb346c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">July</a>: "The Plomb Trail" of 13 km, "The Ridge Trail" of 22 km and "The 4 x 1800 Trail" of 35 km to be done in solo or <a href="kavval://tags/duo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">duo</a> and finally the "Cantalous Marathon" which is a pack combining "The 4 x 1800 Trail" and the "Plomb Trail" 🔗. Top runners have tested this event for you in previous years, including Mathieu Delpeuch and Quentin Meyleu. So you can be sure that The 4 x 1800 Trail is serious business! Additionally, you can earn ITRA points through the UTMB Index circuit (2 for the "Cantalous Marathon" and the "4 x 1800 Trail" and 1 for the "Ridge Trail"). And the organizers have even thought of the younger ones among us! 👧From as early as <a href="kavval://tags/1fc39264-8ba9-4528-aa43-b4d935b27bdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">young age</a>, children will have a 1 km loop with a bit of elevation gain (to get the true <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trail</a> experience 😜), and depending on official age categories, they will complete several loops ☝️. So a friendly, <a href="kavval://tags/festive" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">festive</a> 🎉 and family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 atmosphere awaits you for a weekend packed with activities and <a href="kavval://tags/d816c360-2b86-461f-b854-a807cd9b94ba" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">entertainment</a>&nbsp;😁.So welcome 👋 to the Lioran station, in the heart of the <a href="https://massifcantalien.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cantal Massif</a>. This winter ski domain ❄️ spans 150 hectares 😮 and delights skiers with no less than 43 slopes. In summer ☀️, it's the hikers' turn to enjoy the place with a must-start point towards the summits 🏔️. The diversity and beauty of the landscapes 🏞️ will amaze you during your walks on forest paths and the crest trails! The mountain peaks, not the hairstyles you used to hold with your <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQYtjd9-TDM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vivelle Dop Concrete Fixation Gel</a> when you were little&nbsp;✂️.Now that the stage is set, and you know what kind of environment you will navigate, let's get back to the essential. At <a href="https://www.finishers.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Finishers</a>, we enjoy running, so we didn't want to bring down the mood right at the start! 😉 With 600 mD+ over 13 km, "The Plomb Trail" (which you won't have in your wing 🪽), will appeal to fans of steep and fast races ⚡️. It will start at Lioran and finish... at Lioran 🏁. The same goes for the "Ridge Trail" of 22 km and its 1,200 mD+. As its name indicates, this trail will take you to the discovery of ridges with a pass at the <a href="kavval://tags/volcano" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">volcanic peak</a> of <a href="https://www.paysdauvergne.fr/cantal/puy-peyre-arse.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Peyre Arse</a> 🌋. Finally, let's talk about THE big race of the weekend, the 4 x 1800 with its 2,000 mD+ 👆. What's on? Technicality and the 4 summit passage, over <a href="kavval://tags/dbe02603-5b14-47ba-99ef-861de39701bc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">1,800 m altitude</a> 🌬️. This authentic race, to be completed without poles and without tricks (lol), has a single refreshment station 💧 at the 20th kilometer, in <a href="https://www.saint-jacques-des-blats.fr/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Saint-Jacques-des-Blats</a>, which will also be the relay handover point for your <a href="kavval://tags/relay" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">relay</a> 🤝. Well, if you're the one who started the race, the hardest is done: your partner will only have 13 small km to go before reaching the finish line at Lioran. For the bolder ones, the organizers have created the "Cantalous Marathon"! The rules are simple: you must run (and finish, of course) the "Plomb Trail" AND the "4 x 1800 Trail" (nothing less 😅). These are a total of 45 km and 2,600 mD+ waiting for your legs between Friday night and Saturday morning! 😬 Special mention to the cunning ones who wouldn't (have) prepared properly before setting foot on the 4 x 1800 Trail, without training you won't see the end of it! ⚠️ Oh, we prefer to warn you! Like this, the distances seem cute, but trust me, they'll give you a run for your money (do you know the <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gremlins" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Gremlins</a>? It's the same 🎭). To be sure you have the necessary level to come and scramble through the <a href="kavval://places/917f1e36-25a8-42a6-97b8-15e4c9a268c3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Park</a>, you just need to check the indications on the time barriers, they will tell you your destiny like fortune-tellers! 🔮No, don't worry, we haven't forgotten our dear little ones. We explain the course in the section just below! 👇 Everyone can participate in the event with a mandatory eco-friendly behavior <a href="kavval://tags/eco" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">♻️</a>, essential to the trail 🙏.We've made a mountain out of this event, so ready to join us? 😉
