Like the MB Ultra Somfy, the event’s flagship race, the MB Explore is available in three distances: 20 km, 35 km or 55 km, with 850 m, 1,500 m and 2,200 m of elevation gain respectively. Depending on how your legs feel… and your head, you can decide to stop or continue on to a longer distance!
You will start with 20 km and 850 m of elevation gain, which is technically accessible to allow as many people as possible to participate.
Once in Megève, you can choose to stop or continue for an additional 15 or 35 kilometres. The 35-kilometre route will take you to the well-known Jaillet area, while the 55-kilometre route will take you to the top of Torraz. We promise you a wonderful mountain biking experience!
The race is still open to the junior category over 20 km, and this year they are likely to break new speed records.
