1 15 th edition from january 12 th to 23 th, NEW VIDEO MUSHERS TALK ABOUT IT

2 Dear mushers, The year 2019 will be the 15 th anniversary of La Grande Odyssée Savoie Mont Blanc. After several exchanges and reflections, we have taken the decision to turn the future of the race towards the Mid-Distance format. This format is better suited for continuing to organize a high level competition for mushers and their dogs. So, we open two Mid-Distance categories: OPEN (pool of 12 dogs) and LIMITED (pool of 8 dogs). We always offer two 3-days trophies, and open this year a new trophy Ski-joring. We hope to see you again for this 15 th edition. The race direction 2/12
