The Grand Trail de Serre Ponçon 15 km is a 15 km trail race starting at 10:00 in Embrun, with a five-hour time limit. This event serves as the discovery format within the Grand Trail de Serre Ponçon series, intended for runners seeking an approachable introduction to mountain trail running, distinct from the longer race options.
The course covers 15 km with an elevation gain of approximately 800 to 943 meters. While short, it presents a significant climb. It is suitable for participants who can hike or run on steep terrain.
