my take
The GT160 is one of the few Western States qualifiers within driving distance of Luxembourg, which is why the long distances go early.
about the event
The summer half of the Hautes Fagnes trail weekend, again starting from the Ovifat ski slope. The programme runs from a kids' GT2 up through the GT11, GT21, GT42, GT85 and the GT160, which the organisers list as a Western States qualifier, plus a Tri+ format. Entries are online only and summer registration opens on 1 December.
Preparing for Grand Trail des Lacs et Châteaux, Summer Edition 2027?
Race day is Sat 15 May 2027, in 199 days. Counted back from that date, a two-week taper would start on Mon 3 May 2027; the planner lays out base, build and peak from the day you set it. The taper is the one phase with a meta-analysed optimum: about two weeks, training volume cut by 41 to 60 percent, intensity and frequency kept (Bosquet et al. 2007). A standard structure, not a training plan and not medical advice.
