For 16 editions, the TORX® with Kailas has been much more than just a race. It is a journey along the trails of the Aosta Valley, among its people and mountains, but also a journey within oneself. A sporting and personal challenge that, in this 2025 edition, once again exceeded all expectations.

It was an event marked by extraordinary athletic feats: unforgettable were the records broken by Victor Richard in the TOR330 – Tor des Géants®, Florence Golay- Geymond in the TOR450 – Tor des Glaciers, Wenli Jiang in the TOR100 – Cervino-Monte Bianco, and Kinga Kwiatkowska in the TOR30 – Passage au Malatrà. But every single participant deserves to be mentioned, because the TORX® with Kailas is also made of powerful human stories: shared struggles, mutual help and support among strangers, and unexpected applause in an alpine village under the rain.

A collective, passionate participation that involved athletes, volunteers, guides, doctors, masseurs, technical staff, and fans, several thousand people from all over the world who, for ten days, breathed and became the TORX® with Kailas.

The celebration began on Friday, September 12, with the start of the TOR450 – Tor des Glaciers, and culminated on Sunday, September 21, with the awards ceremony at Parco Bollino in Courmayeur. In ten days, all the souls of the event alternated: the TOR330 – Tor des Géants®, the TOR130 – Tot Dret, the TOR100 – Cervino- Monte Bianco, and the TOR30 – Passage au Malatrà. There were more than 2,500 starters in total, with a record number of 1,750 finishers.

Those who could not experience the event in person were able to follow it once again this year thanks to TORX® Live, which brought the emotions of the race worldwide with live streaming, interviews, highlights, and multilingual updates, with continuous direction between the studio and the trails. On social media, images from Courmayeur and the Alte Vie reached hundreds of thousands of people, while in these ten days the press office produced and distributed 15 press releases in three languages, reaching over 700 international contacts, with around 120 media operators from all over the world present in the Aosta Valley to follow the event.

“It was a special TORX® with Kailas – said Alessandra Nicoletti and Paolo Griselli, president and vice president of VDA Trailers: we had more than 1,100 starters and over 700 finishers in the TOR330 – Tor des Géants®, something that has never happened before. The weather was wonderful and helped both us and the athletes.

There were some problems, such as with the timing system, but we managed to solve them quickly. Our entire team proved increasingly professional: this success is thanks to everyone.”

TORX® with Kailas will return from September 11 to 20, 2026.
