The iconic ultra

A true Swiss Canyon Trail classic.

The 111K offers a complete immersion in the wild landscapes of the Val-de-Travers and northern Vaud region. Challenging climbs, technical descents, runnable sections and rugged trails follow one another throughout a course that is as spectacular as it is demanding.

Designed for ultra-trail runners seeking a true challenge, this distance calls for endurance, technical skills and smart race management to reach the finish line.

The 111K has been selected as a qualifying race for the 2028 Western States 100.

The agreement that previously allowed SCT 111K finishers to secure an entry to the Grand Raid de La Réunion is no longer in place.
