The queen distance

With its 114.8 kilometers and 5,294 meters of elevation gain, the 111K is a technical and demanding challenge that crosses varied and striking landscapes. This route takes runners to discover the treasures of Val-de-Travers and the northern Vaud region.
Each section offers its own thrills. Steep climbs, demanding descents, and rolling sections combine to create a unique experience, where effort and wonder meet at every moment.

Currently, the agreement that allowed finishers of the SCT 111K to obtain a bib for the Grand Raid de La Réunion has not been finalized.
