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!

You’ll start with a 20 km route and 860 m of elevation gain, which is technically manageable to allow as many people as possible to take part.

Once in Megève, you can choose to stop or continue for an additional 9 or 22 miles. While the 22-mile route takes you to the well-known Jaillet area, the 55-mile route takes you to the top of Torraz for a magnificent mountain biking experience!

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

NEW: A new challenge awaits you! Combine MB Ultra and MB Explore to win exclusive gifts. To find out more about this new challenge, click here.
