There’ll be no shortage of activities and entertainment in Morzine this summer! Pass’Portes, Tour de France and Harley Days to name just a few, much to the delight of cycling enthusiasts and motorbike fans! If you’re into extreme sports, come along for the legendary Spartan Race, hosted once again by the village for those who love a challenge!

AN OBSTACLE COURSE, BOOTCAMP STYLE Rise to the challenge on 2 & 3 July. A solo or team race on a course featuring a succession of jumps, walls and other bootcamp-inspired obstacles. Your mission? To complete one of the three courses in the shortest time:

  • Open (just for fun)
  • Competitive (more challenging)
  • Elite (only for physically fit, experienced athletes)
  • The event involves three trails punctuated with obstacles:

  • Sprint: 6+ km/20+ obstacles
  • Super: 13+ km/25+ obstacles
  • Beast: 20+ km/30+ obstacles
  • A MORZINE PARTICULARITY: TRIFECTA WEEKEND For seasoned athletes, the Morzine-Avoriaz stage of the Spartan Race hosts the only Trifecta weekend of the entire event. Indeed, Morzine is one of the most challenging endurance-running destinations (beast or ultra-beast race) and requires proper training and the ability to adapt to the mountain environment. The Morzine Beast Race was one of the 2022 France National Series events.
    A RACE FOR YOUNGER SPARTANS An amusing obstacle race will be organised for young Spartans aged 4 to 14 years, on fun courses of 800 to 3,200 metres. Participating children will build their confidence as they have fun, running, jumping, climbing and crawling. For the over 14s, the challenge will be to cover a longer distance and even participate in timed races to see how they measure up against other young competitors.

    All children completing the course will receive a prize to take home and show off to their friends and family. Children aged 11 to 15 years who take part in the ‘Competitive’ race can win one of the special medals for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, as well as gift vouchers to spend in the Spartan Race merchandise shop.

    This race should appeal to all tastes, levels and age groups! A great excuse to get your friends or family exercising!
