In the tracks of the MB Ultra...

The race in a nutshell

Just like the Somfy MB Ultra, the event’s flagship race, the MB Explore is available in three distances: 20 km, 35 km and 55 km, with 860 m, 1,500 m and 2,200 m of elevation gain respectively. Depending on how your legs are feeling… and how you’re feeling mentally, you can decide whether to stop or carry on to a longer distance!

The race is still open to the cadet category in the 20 km event.

And if you’re after more, there’s another challenge waiting for you! Complete both the MB Ultra and the MB Explore to win exclusive prizes!
