Trail 80km: An exceptional elite roster

Never had the elite roster of the EcoTrail de Paris' 80km Trail been so dense, in both men and women categories. In the men category, 6 runners stand out with an ITRA* performance index over 800.  In the women category, there will also be an intense battle between athletes such as Juliette BLANCHET, who will be celebrating her first participation.

Who will be first to climb the steps of the Eiffel Tower on March 17th? The other distances (45km, 30km and 18km) will also be highly contested with many great headliners.
