The inclusive, sporty & festive MDS adventure is back from €95!
THE FORMAT
After the success of the first editions in La Rosière and Courchevel, the MDS is taking things to new heights and brings its DNA to the Alps for a new sporty and festive challenge: the MDS Crazy Loops.
From July 17 to 19, 2026, in La Rosière, come and experience 3 days of human adventure, filled with effort, encounters, and celebration, set against the backdrop of a magnificent Alpine scenery.
The Inclusive Mountain Adventure
THE CHALLENGE? Get ready for an extraordinary adventure: 24 hours of racing, day and night, to complete as many loops as you can.
Everyone moves at their own pace, lifted by the group energy and the magic of the mountains. One loop, ten, twenty... anything is possible. Take part the way you want, solo or in a team, walking or running, fast or slow.
Experience ultra running in a whole new way
3 to 5 Handi teams will share the course with you. You'll cross paths with their determination, their smiles, and sometimes, you’ll even help them tackle a steep hill.
Everyone is a Helping Runner. On a tough climb, a tricky downhill, or just for the joy of it: you can join a Handi team at any moment and help them move forward.
No fixed roles, no rules: just solidarity in motion.
A breathtaking playground
One of the most stunning natural backdrops in Europe: the French Alps. Here, everything feels more intense, more pure, more alive. From dramatic ridgelines to lush valleys, deep forests to sun-drenched alpine meadows, every square meter invites you to escape.
Perched at 1,850 meters of altitude, La Rosière offers a nonstop visual spectacle. Facing Mont Blanc and bathed in sunlight, this authentic mountain resort opens onto a 360° panorama between France and Italy. Breathing the Alpine air already makes you feel freer, lighter. Running through it... is a unique adventure, a timeless escape.
Here, nature is grand yet accessible. It welcomes athletes and dreamers alike—trail runners, wanderers, distance chasers, and partygoers seeking a different kind of weekend. It’s the perfect playground to run at your own pace, solo or with friends, in an atmosphere that’s festive, welcoming, and unmistakably Alpine.
You don’t come just to run. You come to feel, to share, to breathe, to laugh, and to reconnect with something essential.
MDS Crazy Loops is where our differences draw the same path.
Here, the ultra-champions aren’t necessarily the fastest or those who go the furthest. They’re also the ones we call “Handi” — because for them, ultra is everyday life. Every movement is an effort. Every effort, a victory.
Crazy Loops is an experience to be lived together:
Here, we learn to stop seeing disability as a weakness and start recognizing it as a strength that lifts us all. Come with your legs, your arms, your wheels, your doubts, your energy.
Leave with connections, stories, and sometimes, a new spark.
Crazy Loops isn’t a race. It’s a tribe.
A tented camp in the heart of the mountains, just like in the desert.
A space of freedom where roles fade, perspectives shift, and hearts open.
And if you thought you knew what ultra meant, get ready to rediscover it. But in humanity.
Your four-legged companions are welcome on-site and along the course.
Be sure to bring their essentials, such as water and food, so they can fully enjoy the adventure as well.
Please contact us if you wish to take part in the adventure with your pet, so that we can provide you with more details about the organization.
