160 km and 8000 meters in altitude, starting from Saluzzo, a beautiful medieval town, 30 km to gain altitude, up to Colle di Gilba and Pian Munè, from there you cross the villages of the upper Po Valley: Oncino, Ostana and Crissolo. After the first life base, the pure mountain challenge begins, via path V9 you reach the Quintino Sella Refuge and then Vallanta, a demanding climb to Passo Losetta and then descend towards Pontechianale, Casteldelfino and Sampeyre. From here the penultimate climb up to Meira Paula then to Monte Rememberone, from which you descend to Brossasco, where the last effort up to San Bernardo del Vecchio begins. At that point 10 km of descent lead to the finish line, in the center of Saluzzo.

PACER
The 100 Miglia Monviso introduces a great novelty in the world of trail: the PACER.
From the life base of Casteldelfino, upon arrival, it will be possible to run alongside a teammate, with the aim of giving him the pace and supporting him; the pacer will be regularly registered and will be able to access the refreshment points, but will not appear in the final classification and cannot help the athlete accompanied by bringing his materials or anticipating him in the refreshment points.
The role of the pacer is defined in article 20 of the regulation, and can be registered on the wedosport.net website:
A “Pacer” is defined as a competitor regularly registered in the event who offers his duties as an athlete’s companion for a section of the race course;
A competitor may be accompanied by a Pacer only and exclusively from the Life Base of Casteldelfino (km 100) onwards, up to the finish line;
The Pacer must regularly register as such, paying the relevant fee. The same registration rules apply as for a competitor to the 100 Miglia Monviso, therefore being in possession of a regular medical certificate, being of age, having a membership in Fidal, EPS or Runcard, etc.
The Pacer will be in possession of a regular bib, differentiated and clearly distinguishable from the others, and matched to the bib of the competing athlete;
A Pacer will absolutely not be able to bring food, water, clothing, material of any kind on behalf of the accompanied athlete. You can precede or follow the latter on the path but without providing any kind of mechanical or physical assistance.
A Pacer will not be able to proceed alone on the race course but only and always together with his athlete. If the latter withdraws, the Pacer can proceed only and exclusively in the event that another athlete requests to be accompanied from that point forward.
Only one Pacer is allowed for each competitor, you cannot be accompanied by more than one Pacer.
Pacers are entitled to refreshments just like other athletes.
They can also help the accompanied athlete in bottle filling or food supply operations, but these operations must not speed up the athlete’s refueling process (example: the Pacer and the athlete must enter and exit the refreshment area together, it is not allowed that the Pacer enters first to prepare the refreshment or exits later to complete the operations);
The Pacer will not be included in any ranking;
The Pacer has a very important role for the accompanied athlete, a purely psychological and moral support role. Each Pacer must read the “Pacer Manual”, directly from the race site and sent by email to anyone who signs up as such.
