L’association Mont d’Or area, organizer of this event, is therefore offering this year six distances and seven events in two countries, France and Switzerland, and three departments, Doubs, Jura and Ain. If the main event of 175 km remains the showcase, especially since it is the only Ultra-trail organized in the Jura mountains, the organization wishes to go even further, for its fourth edition, in order to attract more trailers to this magnificent region, a playground for all sports and nature lovers.

To make the event accessible to as many people as possible, the organization is offering two new features: the arrival of a 10 km course, the Chamois, accessible from 16 years old, as well as the establishment of a relay on the UTMJ (175km), which can range from 2 to 6 people maximum per team (including one obligatory female).
