What makes it unique?

In addition, runners must carry all of their own gear and supplies with them throughout the race. This includes food, water, first aid supplies, and any additional clothing or equipment needed to handle the extreme weather conditions they may encounter.

Lastly, the TOR330 is a non-stop race, meaning participants must keep moving for the entire duration of the event. There are no compulsory stages or specific stop points, allowing racers to choose how often and where they take breaks. Combined, these factors make the TOR330 - Tor des Géants an unparalleled ultrarunning challenge that tests the limits of endurance, determination, and skill.
