GENERAL INFORMATION
The TOR450 - Tor des Glaciers is an exceptional and unmissable event, launched to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the TOR330 - Tor des Géants®. An endurance test reserved exclusively for 200 runners chosen to take on the little-known trails and ridges of the Valle d'Aosta, to add a spark of adventure to the competition aspect.
A group of people whose names will go down in the annals of the TOR as those who took part in a competition that may never be repeated, and can claim membership of the exclusive high altitude ultratrailers club.
Most of the trail's 450k route is along the forgottent Alte Vie 3 and 4. It crosses ridges that are largely unknown and touches on ancient glaciers far away from the usual trekking routes. These paths are frequented only by people who are in their element in Alpine landscapes, adore solitude and appreciate the grandeur of the high peaks.
A truly exclusive, unique and unmissable trail that you will undertake completely alone, with only the magnificent high-altitude lodges for reference points and support.
THE RACE
The TOR450 - Tor des Glaciers will start from Courmayeur at 8:00 PM on Friday, September 12, 2025, and will finish on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 6:00 PM, in Courmayeur.
The maximum time allowed for the race is 190 hours.
The awards ceremony will be held at 11:00 AM on Sunday, September 21, 2025 in Courmayeur at Parco Bollino.

IMPORTANT
In order to optimize the management of the information contained in the GPX file, the Organization advises the athletes to download the individual portions of the track (from life base to life base) rather than the entire file.
The TOR450 route is not marked; competitors need to download the official track onto their own devices.
The TOR450 Roadbook can be downloaded in this page. The official TOR450 track can be downloaded as a single file (TOR450 - FULL TRACK - GPX), but the TORX Organization recommends athletes to download individual track sections (from life base to life base, e.g., TOR450 - T1 START - RIF.SELLA - GPX)
The BACKUP tracks for TOR450 (e.g.,TOR450 Backup route 1 - GPX) are alternative routes that are authorized exclusively by the TORX Organization if it becomes impossible to continue along the original itinerary during the race.
Materials from the previous year are generally accurate: they are updated and made public close to the race. | Substantial changes to the route (e.g., new high-altitude route) will be communicated through official TORX channels. | All tracks are generated using Garmin devices and remastered with the free software Basecamp (also from Garmin). | To address file size issues, the TORX Organization limits the number of points in the track to <5000. | In case of compatibility problems with your device, please contact the TORX Organization.
