Ruggedness combined with the shear beauty of the historic Calico Mountains is the theme of this adventure! Join us for an experience you'll never forget! Calico, founded in 1881, is a historic silver mining town 10 miles north of Barstow, California. Purchased in 1950 by Walter Knott of Knott's Berry Farm, the town was restored to its glory of the richest silver strike of the 1800's. The silver mining stayed strong until the late 1890's when the world value of silver fell to pennies on the dollar. Fortunately for the town of Calico, rich deposits of borax were discovered in the Calico Mountains in the early 1890's. Mining still continued until around 1910 when large deposits of Borax were discovered a lot closer to Los Angeles near a town now know as Boron, CA. Walter Knott donated the Town of Calico to the County of San Bernardino in 1967. Since then it has been a County Regional Park, dedicated to preserving the towns history. www.calicotrailrun.com

Two main uphills will harden the beginning, passing by the Orny hut (2826m), by a glacier. La Fouly is roughly in the middle of the route and from there a new adventure starts, leading the runners by the famous Col du Grand St. Bernard, through several villages and pastures and also up the last 1200m ascent to La Chaux, called "the wall" by runners. "X-Traversée" (76 km / 5,300m D+) links the village of La Fouly and Verbier. The route pass by the awesome area of Panossière, you will enjoy the view on the Grand Combin (4314m) and cross the 190m long suspension bridge of Corbassière. "Verbier Marathon" (45km / 4000 m D+). A first big ascent up to Mille Hut where you will join the other routes. From here it continues up to the top of Rogneux at 3000m, before crossing the Avouillons pass to reach the bottom of the Grand Combin, its glacier and the Panossière hut. Crossing the suspension bridge will be the hottest spot of this section. By the end of the race you will still have to face "the wall", the Lourtier-La Chaux uphill in order to be able to run down to Verbier. "Verbier X-Plore" (26km / 1700m D+), a popular race. The goal is to keep this race as popular as possible and to encourage people to try the experience of trail running. To be a good walker is sufficient to take the challenge and be able to reach the finish line. The race will start on Sunday and will start and finish in Verbier. www.trailvsb.com
