TORX® with Kailas continues to inspire dreams, year after year. Pre-registrations for TOR330 – Tor des Géants® 2026 closed with figures that clearly reflect the international dimension of the VDA Trailers project, now in its 17th edition: more than 1,900 aspiring Giants from 86 countries are ready to chase the most important finish line in global endurance trail running.

An international wave that joins the 334 athletes already registered through PAX, earned by completing one of the races in the TORX® eXperience circuit. These athletes secured direct access to TOR330 on the field, avoiding the draw and guaranteeing their place on the September starting line.

The full team of 1,100 athletes who will take on an unprecedented journey along the Alte Vie 1 and 2 of the Aosta Valley is now set: 330 km and 24,000 meters of elevation gain. As per regulations, the pre-registered list was reshuffled on random.org and, in compliance with country quotas, the official list of admitted athletes (highlighted here in green) has now been defined. For them, the decisive phase begins: from March 1 to 15 they must complete their registration on the TORX® eXperience portal.

In case of withdrawals, replacement rounds are planned and, if necessary, a potential

click day. The countdown to September 11, 2026 has officially begun.

The other TORX® with Kailas races

During the same period, registrations also open for all the other TORX® with Kailas 2026 races, which will energize the Aosta Valley for more than a full week of trail running.

On September 11, the TOR450 – Tor des Glaciers will start, the most extreme and wild challenge: 450 kilometers and 32,000 meters of elevation gain in total self-sufficiency along the Alte Vie 3 and 4, reserved only for those who have completed the TOR330 in under 130 hours.

On September 13, it will be time for the TOR330 – Tor des Géants®, the beating heart of the event, while on September 15 the TOR130 – Tot Dret will depart from Gressoney-Saint-Jean, one of the most technical and vertical races on the international scene, with 130 km and 12,000 meters of elevation gain, awarding 100 PAX for the next edition of TOR330.

On September 16, the TOR100 – Cervino-Monte Bianco will take place, the course connecting the two most iconic mountains of the Alps over 100 kilometers and 8,000 meters of positive elevation gain. Increasingly appreciated and technically demanding, it also represents a privileged gateway to TOR330 thanks to the 50 available PAX.

The program concludes on September 19 with the TOR30 – Passage au Malatrà (30 km, 2,000 meters of elevation gain), the “gateway to Paradise” leading beneath the legendary arch of the Jardin de l’Ange, before the awards ceremony on September 20.

TORX® with Kailas is not just a race, but a world of challenges crossing distances, countries and villages, levels and experiences, united by a single vision: transforming an Alpine dream into a global adventure.
