Why Les Templiers Sells Out in Under One Hour — and What the Waiting List Strategy Looks Like
Q: How hard is Les Templiers Endurance Trail 99.5K? A: Harder than its D+/km suggests. At 43.3 m/km (mid-database), it looks moderate; the 12.37% average uphill gradient — estimated top ~10% of European trail races — tells more. Three causses and three valley gorges create relentless technical transitions. La Cade (km 95.88, 452m drop, 16.38% avg gradient) is the notorious finale: roped, rocky, steep, in darkness, after 95km from a 4:00 AM start.
