Full Grand Trail des Templiers course data: aid stations, cutoffs, course profile

Enter a goal Grand Trail des Templiers finish time and get estimated arrival times at every checkpoint around Millau - 80.7 km with 3,443 m of climbing, including the four official time-barrier points at Peyreleau, Saint-Andre-de-Vezines, La Salvage and Mas de Bru.

Starting estimate based on the cutoff, not on published finish times. Replace it with your own goal.

Turns every arrival into a clock time and every cutoff into a margin.

Terrain changes how the goal time is shared between segments, not the total. One surface everywhere cancels out.

Highlighted rows use a pace heuristic (>12 min/km / >19 min/mi) - likely hiking by speed, not grade. The grade-based power-hike cue is ≥15% (see GAP and Incline tools). Times are distributed proportionally by km-effort.

Leave by is the latest you can start the next segment and still make every cutoff ahead of you at this pace - often set by a station further on, not this one. It does not yet subtract the time you spend stopped, so treat it as the optimistic edge.

Cutoff buffers are estimates from your goal time and published barriers. Courses and barriers change - verify against the official race guide.

About the Grand Trail des Templiers

The Grand Trail des Templiers covers 80.7km and 3,443m of elevation gain through the Tarn and Dourbie gorges and across the Causse Noir plateau around Millau, in Aveyron, southern France. Run in late October with a pre-dawn start, it is the historic centrepiece of the Festival des Templiers and one of France's most beloved trail ultras.

Key sections. The race starts at Millau Plage and follows the Tarn valley before climbing onto the Causse Noir. Peyreleau (23.3km) is the first assisted checkpoint, with limited supplies. Saint-Andre-de-Vezines (36.8km) is the main full aid station. The Dourbie gorge sections around La Salvage (55.9km) and the perched village of Cantobre are technical and exposed. From Mas de Bru (64.5km) the final time barrier is behind you, and the last climb to Ferme du Cade (73.2km) comes before a fast run back into Millau.

Conditions. Late October in Aveyron is mild by mountain standards - expect 15-20°C during the day with a cold pre-dawn start. The shorter duration (winners around 6h45, most finishers 9-16 hours) means less nutrition complexity than a 24-hour race, but the pace is faster and carbohydrate demand per hour is higher.

Crew access: Crew access is limited compared to the alpine ultras - Peyreleau and Saint-Andre-de-Vezines are the practical assistance points, while La Salvage and Ferme du Cade are reachable by official shuttle only. Brief your crew accordingly.

Checkpoint distances and cumulative climb come from the organiser's own course data. Verify against the current official race guide at festivaldestempliers.com before your race.

How the splits are allocated

Your goal time is split across the Grand Trail legs by km-effort: distance + gain/100 + loss/200. Full methodology.
