700km and 20000 metres positive climb. Anyone heard of this race before?

No, but it looks good. Some of the images suggest it uses some of the same tracks as the Torino-Nice, around Chialvetta. One I'd like to explore for the crossovers.

Another one to add to the list for next year. Looks like the route includes quite a bit of road and gravel (no mention of trails) so perhaps one for the cx bike. It would be interesting to see how this compares to the Torrino-Nice

It covers a fair bit of of the same ground actually, looking a bit closer at the images and map, just different ends and maybe some more MTB-like trails in places.
It uses the Jafferau climb that is on my ride list, looks stunning but the TNR passes that one. Would make a good trip, there's so many good tracks in that area.
