Since 2022, the R-Race became the SEPas Impossible relay!

The association SEPas Impossible was born in 2014 to communicate about Multiple Sclerosis (MS), to break the isolation of patients and to convince the public authorities to build a medicalized facility for a dignified and adapted care. The absence of a facility forced people with MS to go to unsuitable centers or to move to another region. After 6 years of work, SEPas Impossible convinced the public authorities and a medical care facility was created in the Savoie region in March 2020 (the 6th of its kind in France).
Since this major breakthrough, the association has remained mobilized in order to continue its work of raising public awareness and improving the quality of life of patients.

As the Trail community shares many common values (solidarity, conviviality, mutual aid…), it seemed logical to us to unite with this local association managed on a voluntary basis and the R-Race seemed to us to be the ideal race for that. The R-Race becomes the Relais SEPas Impossible and we will involve the association in the event. Several actions will be carried out throughout the year (creation of a SEPas Impossible team, awareness and promotion of the association…)

Detailed race informations

Information about the relay organisation

  • The R-Race can be done in team of 2, 3 or 4
    If you are registered to the R-Race 4 but you are only 2 or 3 to take the start, a relay can make 2 relays but you will remain classified on the R-Race 4 and it will not be possible to obtain a refund
  • Registration for the R-race is done by a team manager.
    To register for the R-Race, it is not mandatory to provide full contact information for all the runners. The team manager can complete his team's information or make a change of runners up to 15 days before the race date.
  • If the team manager can no longer participate in the race, we invite one of the runner to send us an email indicating the name of the new team manager and the organization will make the change (you can't do it by your self)
  • If a runner is out of time limits or can't finish his relay, the next runners will have the opportunity to run and will start just befaure the end of the time limits. However the team will not be considered as a finisher team.

Practical information:

  • We differentiate waves and SAS starts:
    - A starting wave corresponds to a starting time
    - For each wave, there can be 1 or 2 SAS in order to distribute the runners within the starting wave according to their level and to fluidify the starts.
  • The SAS are automatically constituted based on your performance index one month before the event
  • Your race time will start when you cross the start line.
  • Time barriers are calculated on the start time of the last wave.

Start time schedule:

In order for you to be able to estimate in which SAS you are going to start, we communicate you the distribution of the SAS of 2022. This distribution will evolve for 2023 according to the level of the registered riders and will be communicated 1 month before the event

    - SAS 1: between 30 and 50 elite runners (index above 778 for men and 601 for women)

On the R-Race, refreshment points are only available for the runner who have just finished his relay before he has changed his clothes. Runners starting their relay will not be allowed to access to the refreshment points.

Information about of the switchover on the night route

For races whose arrival can be done at night (Ultra-Race, MaXi-Race, R-Race) a switchover will be made at nightfall to the platform of the old cable car (the km and the exact time is indicated on the table at the top of the page).
In order to guarantee the safety of the runners, you will be switched to a less technical route. You will still be considered as a finisher but a time adjustment of a few minutes will be made on your arrival time to ensure sporting fairness.
