Instead of setting out with seven maps in your rucksack, now you can have the whole of the GR20 on just one map.  IGN published this new map on the 2^nd March 2020.  The scale is 1/50 000 – 1cm = 500m.

Cristina took two weeks to complete the trek from North to South. It was quite an exploit, she told us about the challenges of her trek at this time of year (29 May 2019).

This is excellent news for Ultra trailers all over the world.  The year 2020 is the year that the organisation ‘Mantinum’ will see this great project take place.

On the 2^nd January 2020 there was a much awaited press announcement that confirmed the race would take place and made the event official.  The race incorporates 160km along the GR20, there are 26 summits between 1300m and 2600m altitude to cross and over 12,000m total altitude gain.

On Saturday 4th May 2019, the refuge Ortu di Pobbio was destroyed by a fire. It is the first refuge along the GR20 trail when you set out from Calenzana in the north of the island. 

Take a look at the GR20's spectacular ridges and hear what people have to say about the terrain.

Have you always dreamt of participating in a competition on the mythic GR20? For the first time it is going to be possible mid June 2020.
