Overview
Staged in Rousset, France, the 23ème Trail Sainte Victoire - Les Crêtes packs 3000 meters of vertical ascent into 61 kilometers, demanding 49.2 meters of climb per kilometer across technical ridgelines. With 326 finishers in 2026, the event commands a field bigger than 95% of 50mi peer races and smaller than only 5%, placing runners in heavy company across steep mountain terrain.
The 12-hour limit enforces a minimum pace of 11.8 minutes per kilometer. That deadline is more generous than 58% of 50mi cut-offs and tighter than 42%, leaving moderate breathing room on paper, though the sustained climbing ensures runners must maintain steady upward momentum to avoid the clock.
