The MARATHON DES SABLES goes high-altitude and brings its DNA to the Alps for a new sporting and festive challenge: the MDS Crazy Loops.
From 1 to 3 August 2025 in Courchevel, come and live 3 days of human adventure, driven by effort, encounters and celebration, in the heart of a magnificent alpine setting.
THE RACE? Get ready for an extraordinary adventure: 24 hours of running, day and night, to cover as many loops as possible.
Everyone moves at their own pace, carried by collective energy and the magic of the mountains. One loop, ten, twenty… anything is possible. You take part as you wish, solo or in a team, at your own pace, running or walking.
3 to 5 Handi teams will share the course with you: you will see their efforts and their smiles, and sometimes even help them up a climb.
Everyone is a Helping Runner. On a steeper section, on a technical descent or simply for the pleasure of sharing: at any moment, you can join a Handi team and help it move forward.
No fixed role, no rules to follow: just solidarity in action.
And to live the experience to the full, the MDS bivouac awaits you. Two nights under canvas in the mountains.
But if you prefer your bed in the resort, the format is flexible: you choose your accommodation, your comfort, your adventure.
MDS Crazy Loops is not just a race.
It is a base camp, a tribe, a playground in which to push yourself and find each other.
A sporting, human and inclusive adventure, where everyone gives, receives and progresses in their own way.
Come and live ultra differently.
At altitude. Together.
