ORGANISATION
The « Trailers Verbier St-Bernard » association has been officially established according to its articles of constitution which have been duly submitted.
RACES
We organise four alpine running races. The Verbier Saint-Bernard Trail (TVSB) is comprised of the X-Alpine of approx.
111km; the X-Traversée is approx. 73km long, the Verbier Marathon is approx. 43km long and the Liddes-Verbier race of
approx. 31km. The races are individual. Competitors go at their own pace but must complete the race within a set time.
INSCRIPTION CONDITIONS
The races are open to any person, male or female, born in 2000 or before for the X-Alpin31e and any person born in 2002 or older for the X-Traversée and the Verbier Marathon. No age limit for the Liddes-Verbier but young runner below 18 must present an authorization from their legal parent. The races are open to licensed and non-licensed runners. The courses include sections at high altitude where harsh and extreme conditions may be encountered (nighttime, wind, cold temperatures, rain, snow). Succeeding in this great challenge requires very good training and a high level of fitness as well as self-sufficiency.
X-Alpine is a very mountainous trail, for runners used to such terrains.
4 ITRA points are required to participate to the X-Alpine. They must have been achieved within 2 years before subscription in a maximum of 2 races. All races validated by ITRA are qualifying races. Other races can be considered on request.
When inscribing to any of the races, the runner must:
-accept to receive every newsletter with information on the TVSB event.
-be conscious of the length and difficulty of the race.
-take the responsibility to have a confirmation from a competent doctor that he/she is able and that they have no counter indication to take part to such a race
-know how to deal with difficult outdoor weather conditions due to the altitude (darkness, wind, cold, heat, fog, rain or snow) -know how to deal with physical or mental problems due to extreme tiredness, digestive problems, muscle pain, small
injuries… Moreover the runner is aware that it’s not the event responsibility to help them cope with such problems.

-realise that the organisation committee cannot guarantee absolute security during the race. And that the delay for any rescue might be up to several hours in some places.
-realise that the race is in the mountain and accept the linked risks.
Participants of the Verbier Saint-Bernard Trail are required to read and abide by the rules and ethics of the race. The jury’s decision is final.
