CCC 2026
Friday, August 28, 2026 · Completed
The course was cut twice. Two days before the start UTMB rerouted two Swiss sections, sending runners down to about 500 meters near Martigny and back up the Trient valley instead of over La Giète. On race day the last climb went too, with runners already out, so the course no longer passes La Flégère above Chamonix. What is left is 108 km with 6,200 meters of climbing, against about 101 km and 6,015 before either change. The race page gives a 28-hour limit and the runner's guide for this edition gives 26 hours 30 minutes; on the 28 hours, which is what the timing system enforced, the finish closed at 1:30 p.m. on the Saturday. The 9:00 start did not change.
