Get your calves and your mind ready: the Red Bull 400 returns to Courchevel this summer for a 5th edition that promises to be another Dantesque event. Nestling at an altitude of 1,300 metres, the Olympic venue at Le Praz will be hosting one of the most intense events on the international sporting calendar this Sunday 13 July, on the legendary ski jump. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There's no time to warm up: right from the start, it's a brutal climb. The Red Bull 400 is not just another race: it's the equivalent of a 40-storey sprint, in the open air, using your legs alone, on an average gradient of 36 % with peaks of 78. You climb straight up a steep, grassy wall that never seems to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event is open to solo (men and women) or mixed 4\u00d7100 m relays. Whether you're a trail runner, HIIT practitioner, crossfitter or simply a fan of extreme sensations, this is where your cardio will really be put to the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
