Trail Alsace Grand Est Numbers

An incomprehensible 4,709 runners registered for this first-year UTMB event in the Alsace region of France.

Just to put this in perspective: the much hyped Canyons Endurance Runs, one of the biggest events in North America, a UTMB World Major, and Western States qualifier, in the self-proclaimed ‘endurance capitol of the world’, Auburn California drew around ~1,900 runners across the various distances a couple of weeks ago.

Trail Alsace Grand Est, is a brand new race on trails. We have no racing history or story lines and this event draws over twice as many people for its inaugural year.

Absolutely massive.
