A youth race takes place before the main races, and a 15 km hike for walkers starts at 14:30. The longest race is listed as 30 km with 1600 meters of elevation gain, indicating the series emphasizes climbing alongside distance. The event is organized by local groups BOUK honte-du-sport, Gibus, and Noruas, with Bruno Sigaud serving as the contact.
