1/ THE ORGANISER AND THE EVENT
The MAJUSCHULE Association (Association loi 1901 registered on 14/01/08 at the Préfecture de Haute-Garonne under number W313008309), hereinafter referred to as the organiser, is organising the 2025 edition of the Grand Raid des Pyrénées (GRP), on
Wednesday 19, Thursday 20, Friday 21, Saturday 22, Sunday 23 August 2026.
2/ REGISTRATION CONDITIONS
This year's races are open to anyone, male or female, born before
31 December 2006, in the “Espoir, Senior, M0, M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8” categories, with or without a license.
Before registering, runners are reminded of the difficulties of the routes (length, altitude differences, mountain trails in the great outdoors), the weather conditions (cold, extreme heat, rain, violent winds, storms ….), and the sections of the race that take place in the middle of the night…. These difficulties require good physical preparation and the ability to be self-sufficient to ensure success in this type of individual adventure.
Registration for the three ULTRAs (160 solo, Tour des Cirques and Tour des Lacs) is subject to conditions: for each race a minimum number of effort points are required to reinforce the conditions for success in these events. This minimum number of effort points allows the organization to verify the runner’s ability to commit to an ultra while protecting their health.
Entries for all races (except the relay race) are subject to a draw.
Details and timetable will be posted on the Grand Raid des Pyrénées website: https://www.grandraidpyrenees.com/fr/
3/ ACCEPTANCE – TRANSFER OF RACE NUMBER
Participation in GRP events implies:
- Express and unreserved acceptance of these rules,
- Adherence to the Association's code of ethics, integrity, rider safety, mutual assistance between riders, respect for nature and volunteers,
- Compliance with the instructions given to participants by the organiser
This commitment is personal.
Registration for a race is firm and final.
However, a rider may transfer his race number to another person.
All transfers of race numbers must be made via the registration platform to guarantee the security of the transaction.
Transfers can only be made for the same race: a runner may only transfer his/her race number if registered for that race.
Exchanges can only be made for the same race, and the transferor will be reimbursed for the cost of his registration and any supplements, except for insurance costs and platform management costs (approximately 3%), while the taker will see the price of his race increased by €7 for management costs.
The seller will only be reimbursed once the buyer has registered (payment and validation of effort points for ultras) and only after sending an email to contact@grandraidpyrenees.com to indicate the transfer of the race number and thus obtain a refund.
The hirer will have the option of taking out the cancellation insurance offered as well as the options
Number transfers will be permitted from March 30 until midnight on June 30, 2026, for all races, apart from the 160 relay, for which runner changes will be possible until the day before the race starts.
No exchange of race numbers with a runner registered for another race is possible outside of the procedure described for race number transfers.
The transfer of a race number to a runner who is not registered is prohibited outside of the procedure described for race number transfers.
Numbers cannot be exchanged with runners entered in other races.
It is forbidden to transfer a race number to a non-registered runner.
Any person who transfers or exchanges a race number to a third party outside of the terms described above will be held responsible in the event of an accident.
Any person with a race number acquired in violation of the rules will be disqualified.
The organizers accept no responsibility for any infringement of the rules.
No animals may accompany runners.
The race is individual, including relays for the Ultra 160 km, at a free pace, within a limited time. Anyone without a race number is not permitted to accompany a runner on the race route.

5/ RACE CONDITIONS
The routes:
Most of the routes follow paths that must be followed to respect the flora and fauna. Some sections take traffic lanes on which the highway code must be strictly observed.
The routes are prepared many months before the event. Occasional changes may be made because of roadworks, ground movements or weather-related damage. In such cases, a modified route will be proposed. As a result, the distances and gradients communicated may be slightly altered. No cancellation of registration or refunds will be granted in such cases.
Special case of the Ultra Tour 160 km in 4 relays:
The route is identical to that of the Ultra Tour 160 km Solo, same place, same start time.
Three relay crossing points have been organised: La Mongie, Pierrefitte and Luz Saint-Sauveur.
Teams are made up of 2 to 4 riders, men, women or mixed.
One entry is required per runner and per relay (a person running two relays must take two entries, one per relay).
If a relay is not completed and a runner drops out, the team may continue the race from the next relay if it recovers the relay number from the runner who dropped out. In this case, a penalty will be applied to the team.
In the event of a relay runner being late at the finish of a relay, the next runner must collect the late runner’s relay number, then be taken by road to the next checkpoint accessible by road and start their relay before the time barrier for that checkpoint. A penalty will be applied to the team.
The order of relay runners communicated during registration may be changed during the race. However, the order of race numbers (1 to 4) must be respected, even if the first names no longer correspond.
Each team member must have validated their Safety Prevention Pass for the team to be validated.
Self-sufficiency:
These races are based on the principle of self-sufficiency and require riders to be self-sufficient.
Refreshment stations (liquid and/or solid) are located throughout the course.
These refreshment points are indicated in the road book, which will be accessible via our website:
https://www.grandraidpyrenees.com/fr/
Cleanliness:
Under no circumstances should runners throw anything on the course. Especially as the races take place in protected areas.
A penalty will be imposed on any rider caught deliberately littering the course.
Living bases and supply points: (see paragraph 17)
Showers:
The Pierrefitte and Luz Saint-Sauveur bases are equipped with cold showers.
A hot shower is available on arrival in Vielle Aure. These showers are available at the Rioumajou campsite and can be reached by shuttle bus from the route d'Agos (near the marquee) in Vielle Aure.
Safety:
For safety reasons, any rider wishing to rest on the course must do so without deviating from the itinerary to be visible to the queue-keeper.
Runners' attention is drawn to the danger of swimming in rivers (Nestes in particular). Water can be released at any time from upstream dams, causing a sudden rise in water levels.
Due to the presence of livestock in the mountains, it is strongly advised not to drink water from streams.
We share the mountain with farmers who have their herds guarded by Patou dogs, which can be very aggressive as soon as they sense the herd is in danger. Before the event, we contact the shepherds to ask them to keep their flocks away from the race routes.
We ask you to take note of the instructions posted on the Grand Raid des Pyrénées website and to be vigilant during the race.
6/ MARKING
Marking for the various races is put in place in the days leading up to the event.
It is checked by the ushers before the first rider passes.
This signpost allows riders to follow the planned route without the need for maps or descriptions.
This marking is the only official one, regardless of the GPX tracks previously given on the organization's website.
This marking is removed by the greenhouses after the last runners have passed.
7/ REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
Pre-registration and registration are done via the Grand Raid des Pyrénées website: https://www.grandraidpyrenees.com/fr/
The opening dates for pre-registration for each race are communicated via the organisation’s website and social media.
Registration for all the 2026 races is subject to a draw (except for the relay race), as follows:
Runners wishing to enter the draw will be able to do so once pre-registration opens, in accordance with the schedule posted on the website.
It is possible to register as a group, allowing up to 10 people to participate in the draw as a team. Similarly, couples who wish to run together are recommended to register as a group.
Those wishing to register for several races must be in one and only one group. However, if they are drawn for several races, they will not be able to validate their registration for races with incompatible schedules (e.g. two races starting on the same day or two races taking place at the same time).
Double registrations for the same race are not permitted (in a group and individually or in several groups). Only one pre-registration will be retained per runner. Duplicates will be removed at random. No claims may be made following the removal of duplicates if the drawing is unfavorable.
Group names must consist of a string of 8 characters, including at least 1 letter, 1 number and 1 special character.
The chances of being selected in a group or individually are exactly the same.
To cover the costs of organising this draw, €1 per pre-registration will be charged.
If the runner is not selected in the draw, this euro will not be refunded.
The results of the drawing will be communicated by email and on the organisation’s website.
Upon receipt of the email, selected runners will have the time limit indicated in the email to confirm their registration by making payment.
After this deadline, places that have not been confirmed by payment will be offered to candidates in the order of the draw ranking. They will have the time limit indicated in the email to confirm by payment (once the registration confirmation deadline has passed, it will no longer be possible for a runner selected in the draw to validate their registration).
This process will continue until all races are full.
As soon as the race is full, an email will be sent to all those on the waiting list to inform them.
Until the end of the pre-registration confirmation waves, registration will not be open to runners who are not pre-registered.
At the end of the first wave and at the end of each wave, groups of participants wishing to take part in different races may be separated due to races being full. They are free to continue or discontinue the registration process.
Once the registration confirmation deadline has passed, it will no longer be possible for a runner selected by lottery to confirm their registration.
Registration deadlines:
Races are closed when maximum capacity is reached, and no waiting list is maintained.
However, in the event of too many withdrawals, the organisers reserve the right to make race numbers available again.
For races where the capacity limit has not been reached, the closing date for entries is
Sunday 30 June 2026 at midnight.
Registration taken into account:
Registration is validated after payment.
It is confirmed by sending confirmation e-mail and the proof of payment.
Please check your spam folder if you do not receive any messages.
If you do not receive at least one of these two emails, please contact the following address as soon as possible:
Booking options :
Subscription to options (buffet and shuttle) will be open from 15 April to 30 June 2026 via the registration platform. An email will be sent to all registered participants to remind them of this deadline.
Effort points:
Registration for the Ultra Trails (Ultra 160 solo, Tour des Cirques and Tour des Lacs) is subject to the completion between 1er January 2021 and 31 December 2025, and between 1er January 2021 and before registration for the Ultra 160 solo, of a race as a “finisher” whose characteristics translated into effort points are as follows:
- The Ultra 160 (excluding the relay): 130 effort points,
- Le Tour des Cirques : 95 effort points,
- Tour des Lacs : 65 effort points.
The number of effort points is calculated according to the following principle: 1 point per kilometre covered, 1 point per 100m of positive ascent (e.g. a race of 80km and 3,000m of positive ascent = 80 + 30 i.e. 110 points).
A declaration on honour will be requested via the registration platform.
Effort points will be randomly checked during pre-registration. Runners who do not meet the criteria will be excluded from the draw and will not be able to transfer their registration to a third party.
Effort points must be obtained in a single race; the accumulation of effort points from several races is not permitted.
Special case of Ironmans: Ironmans do not bring the minimum required for ultra races.
No exemptions may be granted regarding effort points.
