There are 2 starts for the DDM|57 individual races and the relay, and you want to know the choice of the start time: It is free. The time is simply triggered by the runner when he/she crosses the start line thanks to our timing partner MSO. On the other hand, be careful, the time barriers are the same for all runners, that is to say 1pm in Vérossaz and 4pm in Salanfe. Adapt your choice of departure according to the time you think you will take.
In other words: The checkpoint in Vérossaz only opens at 9am. Runners who expect to reach Vérossaz from Champéry in less than 3 hours should start at 9am.
The relay is run in pairs. The 57K are divided in two, where each of the two parts of the course is run by one of the two teammates. The Discovery is a two-day race/walk, starting on Friday (1 day before the 57K) with an overnight stay in a B&B, and finishing at the same time as everyone else on Saturday at the end of the day.
Friday: At the shop Magasin Berdoz Opticien dans le marché Migros à Monthey, from 3:30pm to 6:30pm.
Saturday: In Champéry only, from 5am to 5:45am or from 7:30am to 8:30am (close to the departure).
The podium gave a time for men and women and all categories combined of 3h51 to 6h43. Find the results of last year on our site under Results. And you have a maximum of 10 hours to do it. This course is similar to the one of Sierre-Zinal, with more downhill, but more gentle.
Friday: At the shop Magasin Berdoz Opticien dans le marché Migros à Monthey, from 3:30pm to 6:30pm.
Saturday: In Vérossaz only, from 7am to 8am (close to the start).
