Overview
Organised by Office du Tourisme de la Grande Plagne, the 37ème La 6000D takes place in La Plagne Tarentaise on 2027-07-31. With a field bigger than 99% of 50mi races and smaller than 0%, runners face mass-start congestion alongside 1383 competitors across the 69-kilometre loop.
The route demands relentless climbing from the start, averaging 49.3 metres of ascent per kilometre to amass 3400 metres of total elevation gain. After setting out from 677 metres of altitude—including a passage through an Olympic bobsleigh track near kilometre 10—the trail climbs all the way up to a high point of 3050 metres on the glacier before returning to the valley floor.
