MaXi-Race Tour of Lake Annecy by the Mountains
MaXi-Race is a multi-format trail event that follows mountain trails around Lake Annecy. The programme includes competitive "Race" formats and non-competitive "eXpérience" formats, a MaXi Village with expos and brand stands, and on-course fan zones and animations around key aid stations.
The organiser presents two approaches: "Race" courses with stricter time limits and sometimes minimum level requirements, and "eXpérience" courses without elite bibs where all finishers receive the same finishers' items. The event involves many local associations and a large volunteer team.
