What is in the file?
A route file for preparation and navigation
This 18 September GPX contains the Auron-to-Nice track I use for course preparation. Measured from its 8,652 track points, the line is about 167.4 km long. The official race page communicates 165 km and 8,900 m+. Use the GPX for the course line and the organiser for cut-offs, markings and last-minute changes.
Distance and elevation can look different after import. Watches and route planners often recalculate the track using their own elevation and distance models. Use the official headline figures for race communication and the GPX mainly to study the shape and location of the course.
Importing
How to use the GPX
The file uses GPX 1.1 and can be imported by most modern GPS watches and route-planning platforms.

Send the route to your watch or phone and compare it again with the organiser’s final information shortly before the race.
Distance and elevation
Why your watch may show a different total
The file metadata does not contain a separate distance or elevation-gain field. Calculating directly from the track points gives about 167.4 km. The organiser communicates the race as 165 km with 8,900 m of climbing.
Watches and route planners may still show something different because of point filtering, map matching, elevation correction and platform algorithms. For cut-offs and official communication, the organiser’s figures and instructions remain the reference.
Important on race day
Not a replacement for the official course information
Verify the final route before you travel.
During the race, follow the organiser’s markings and any last-minute course changes. A downloaded GPX can become outdated as soon as the route is adjusted.
