Samantha Loops: A Run That Never Ends 🤭 Prepare your calves and put on your best smile, as the MDS Crazy Loops concept is making its way to La Rosière in July. This edition promises to be legendary amid the stunning landscapes of Savoie. The challenge is straightforward yet addictive—run for 3, 6, 9, 12, or a grueling 24 hours and see how many loops you can complete on a course stretching from 3 to 5 kilometers. Unlike other loop races where runners are forced back out every hour, here the freedom lies in your pace and stamina. The race takes place at an altitude of 1,850 meters, offering breathtaking views as you run through Mont Pourri with Italy just across the border. The scenery includes vertiginous ridgelines and sunlit alpine pastures where the beauty often overshadows the physical challenge. La Rosière’s vast playground provides a perfect backdrop for runners to lose themselves in nature. What sets Samantha Loops apart is its inclusive spirit, welcoming Para sport teams alongside able-bodied participants. You can join these athletes on their climbs or descents and help them along the way. The race village transforms into a hub of camaraderie where bonds are formed between loops as everyone pushes toward the finish line together. Accommodation options range from bivouac tents under MDS marquees to self-sufficient setups, ensuring you can rest in comfort amidst the festivities. Whether you choose to sleep beneath the stars or cozy up after your efforts, the atmosphere remains festive and laid-back throughout. Once your legs begin to tire but still have some life left, take advantage of La Rosière’s proximity to Italy by crossing over for a slice of authentic pizza at Petit Saint-Bernard pass. Alternatively, soothe sore joints with natural cryotherapy in an icy alpine stream—free and incredibly effective. And don’t forget to refuel with local delicacies like Savoie ham, diot sausage in white wine, and rich fondue. Are you ready for a run that leaves no room for hesitation? Don't let this loop pass you by!
