Already 10 differents countries for the virtual GlaGla Race / Déjà 10 pays pour la GlaGla Race virtuelle !

GlaGla Race 2021 will be virtual ! register now !

In 3 days, we already have 10 countries participating in the virtual GlaGla Race ! Register now and organize your own GlaGla Race wherever you are to celebrate winter on the water!

The principle is simple: everyone can organize their own GlaGla Race wherever they want, while respecting health constraints and local restrictions. Everyone is responsible for their own safety and should only enter the water if they have the necessary skills and equipment.

It would be good (and depending on weather conditions and time zones) if everyone could start on Saturday 23 January 2021 at 10:30 am, the time scheduled for the start of the short and long distance. 3 distances are available: the usual 6 and 15 km to which we have added a 3 km to really allow all levels to participate, even on small bodies of water.

Une GlaGla Race virtuelle en 2021

bénévoles GlaGla Race

Les dernières décisions gouvernementales concernant l’épidémie de COVID-19 ne nous permettent pas d’organiser la GlaGla Race dans les conditions habituelles. [information in English here]

Nous avons décidé pour garder ce rendez-vous mythique au cœur de l’hiver alpin de proposer une GlaGla Race virtuelle.

Le principe est simple : chacun s’organise sa GlaGla Race à lui là où il le désire, dans le respect des contraintes sanitaires et les restrictions locales. Chacun est responsable de sa sécurité et ne doit se mettre à l’eau que s’il en a les capacités et l’équipement nécessaire.

Dans la mesure du possible (et selon les conditions météo et les fuseaux horaires), chacun devra prendre le départ samedi 23 janvier 2021 à 10h30, soit l’heure prévue pour le départ de la courte et de la longue distance. 3 distances sont proposées : les 6 et 15 km habituelles auxquelles nous avons ajouté une 3 km pour permettre à vraiment tous les niveaux de participer et ce, même sur de petits plans d’eau.

A fully virtual GlaGla Race 2021

The latest government decisions regarding the COVID-19 epidemic do not allow us to organize the GlaGla Race under the usual conditions. [informations en Français ici]

We have decided to keep this legendary meeting in the heart of the Alpine winter. The only solution is a virtual GlaGla Race.

The principle is simple: everyone can organize their own GlaGla Race wherever they want, while respecting health constraints and local restrictions. Everyone is responsible for their own safety and should only enter the water if they have the necessary skills and equipment.

As far as possible (and depending on weather conditions and time zones), everyone must start on Saturday 23 January 2021 at 10:30 am, the time scheduled for the start of the short and long distance. 3 distances are available: the usual 6 and 15 km to which we have added a 3 km to really allow all levels to participate, even on small bodies of water.

Please choose your race distance when registering and send us via the form your planned route and a photo of you (on your board if possible!).

This is a personal challenge and not an organized race.

We ask for a financial contribution of an amount of your choice (1 € minimum which goes to weezevent, the rest will go to Annecy Stand Up Paddle Club). This free amount will go to projects promoting the practice of stand up paddleboarding among children.

Registration opening: January 14th at 6pm (PARIS TIME ZONE) / 5 pm (LONDON TIME ZONE)
