26rd edition of the Villeret-Chasseral-Villeret race

First stage of the 3rd edition of the [Grand Chasseral Trail Series](https://grandchasseraltrailseries.ch/) challenge

VCV: three letters that stand for a unique and original race in the heart of the Chasseral Regional Nature Park. Organised for the first time in early September 2000 by a small group of running enthusiasts from Villeret and the surrounding area, the VCV is now firmly established as a classic mountain race. A mini Sierre-Zinal for some... a challenge similar to that of Val de Travers for others, the Villeret-Chasseral-Villeret foot race is ultimately one of a kind. Over the years, the VCV has earned its stripes in a running calendar that is as rich as it is varied. Combining popular enthusiasm and conviviality, it appeals to elite athletes and casual walkers alike.
