Reading the route
Part of the Camino de Santiago runs through this course, across the volcanic Velay plateau, before climbing to its highest point right near the finish.
7 pm, in Saugues: daylight still lingers when the race sets off. The route first crosses Saint-Julien-des-Chazes, then the Rouchoux gorges, on the steep-sided paths typical of the canyon.
It then joins the GR65 pilgrim path to Saint-Jean-Lachalm, skirts the Bouchet crater lake, and climbs to Mont Devès, the course's highest point.
The final descent crosses Saint-Christophe-sur-Dolaizon before the finish in Le Puy-en-Velay. 30 hours 50 minutes to reach Le Puy-en-Velay, watch in hand.
