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)
