Lenormand in favorite
Two trails are offered to runners, the first, with a distance of 19 km (D + 650 m) and the second of 12.5 km (D + 360 m). The most athletic walkers will be able to measure themselves on a timed course of 10 km (D + 360 m), while those who enjoy a bucolic walk will take part in the free-paced hike of 6 km (D + 200 m).
The poster suggests some great duels with intensity. The 19 km trail seems tailor-made for the neo-Gant resident Jérémy Lenormand, after his victories this year on similar profiles to the Costalats and the Chamois trail. Philippe Lambin, 3rd at the start of the month in Artigueloutan, will claim a place on the podium. On the women’s side, Céline Alegre, 5th in Montan’Aspe, 3 weeks ago, could achieve the hat-trick, after her victories in 2022 and 2023. Over 12.5 km, Valentin Creux, 2nd last year could climb to the top step from the podium. On the move, Sylvie Lopes should win, after her victory last week on the flat Oloronaise course, as long as she manages to digest the difference in altitude.
