Official event pageWhat this race demands
The Reims Champagne Run 87 km ultra trail demands sustained endurance across a long-duration effort through the historic streets and vineyards of Reims and the Montagne de Reims.
Ultra-distance endurance
Covering 87 kilometers requires extensive muscular durability and the ability to maintain forward progress over many hours.
Terrain versatility
Navigating both historic streets and vineyard trails demands adaptability to varying underfoot conditions throughout the region.
A sustained effort of this duration requires consistent carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain energy levels and prevent late-race bonxing.
