Please note: the organization does not provide transport for relayers. It is advisable to use a single vehicle from Vielle-Aure so that the 3 members of the relay who are not in the race join the start of the next relay. And so on until the return to Vielle-Aure, changing driver when the runner runs his/her relay.
Please note: the route has many parts on mountain trails where it is not easy to run, especially in the Néouvielle area, around the Col de Bastanet and the Hourquette Nère.
