Program and Stages of the TOR Trail Running Camps
The organization of the TOR Camps does not follow the circular route, as it must take into account the difficulties created by the presence of snowdrifts along the route.
For this reason, the weekends may be subject to variations near the dates or following the reconnaissance carried out by the Coaches before the Camp or the availability of Refuges and assistance.
