The event in a few words

Ready to take a step back in time and return to the prehistoric era? 🧌 That's what the Grand Raid Cro Magnon offers, a race for nomadic athletes 🏃‍♀️ who crave long distances! 📈 To participate, meet at the southern stations of the province of Cuneo in Italy 🇮🇹 and more precisely in Limone Piemonte. Once you are fully immersed in nature 🌳, the rugged paths and the mountains ⛰️, you have two choices: either you decide to run on the first day and embark on 100 km of trail with 6000 mD+! If you choose this option, you are signing up for the GRAND RAID CRO MAGNON 💪. If this race scares you a bit, and it's understandable, you can always watch the pros start like arrows on the first day and opt for the MINI CRO TRAIL 🦷, which is not so mini since it still includes 30 km for 2000m D+! In any case, you will get your money's worth! 👣

Yes, as you might expect, this trail, regardless of the distance, requires you to come trained, in shape and fully aware of the conditions that may be at this altitude: up to 2200 m 😵‍💫. We are never safe from wind, rain, cold or snow ❄️. You will also need to plan your equipment and personal refreshments as the races are in semi-autonomy 🧃. For the 100 "small" km trail, the competition course begins from Limone, taking you to Sanremo, at the seaside 🌊. The 30 km race will start from Airole and finish in Sanremo 😎.

And after savoring the victory, why not explore the area? 😅 Near Limone Piemonte, you can discover the charming city of Cuneo, with its pleasant streets and its Piazzetta Market, the perfect time to enjoy a good pizza! 🍕 And you will surely need it after your trail feats! If you want to continue exploring the mountains, the Parco Naturale delle Alpi Marittime awaits you for hikes among the local fauna and flora 🦌. Prefer to take some time to relax? The thermal baths of Valdieri are perfect for relaxing after such an effort 🧖‍♀️.

Well, are you ready to take on one of the two challenges offered by the Grand Raid Cro Magnon! 🦴
