The race spans May 21 to 23, 2027, inviting runners to traverse a total distance that can be customized based on your preference for the full trail or half trail options. The full trail covers 115 kilometers over three days—divided into segments of 19 km, 45 km, and 51 km respectively.

The entry fee of €449 (excluding travel and accommodation) provides access not only to the challenging terrain but also to engaging evening sessions led by renowned historian Herco Lim, who offers deep insights into the historical significance of each location. This blend of physical exertion with educational enrichment creates a unique opportunity for personal growth and reflection. Spaces are limited due to the exclusive nature of this event, ensuring that every participant enjoys an intimate and meaningful experience. Given its popularity, early registration is highly recommended to secure your spot in history among these hallowed grounds. Join us on May 21-23, 2027 for a journey through Normandy where each step retraces the footsteps of heroes past, immersing you in both the physical and historical challenges that define this unforgettable adventure.
