The penultimate event in the Gran Canaria World Trail Majors series could hardly have had a better setting. On the north side of the Pyrenees, with Vielle-Aure as the epicentre, almost 8000 runners took part in the various races that make up the Gran Raid des Pyrenees. The longest and most demanding race at 160 km and almost 10,000 metres of elevation (plus another 10,000 metres of descent) was the one that counted towards the series that will be concluded in November in Cape Town, South Africa. Rémi Gillie and Anne Champagne took the 1500 points for victory in 2024, one of the most competitive GRP editions in its history.
