For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, there are starting points in Fuldera 103 km (Val Müstair), Livigno 66 km and S-chanf 47 km. The "Big & Small" category is particularly suitable for families.

For optimal preparation for this year's race, free riding technique courses with bike guides from Alptrails will be held for all registered participants for the first time on Friday afternoon, August 26, 2016.

Instead of many small prizes, this year three big prizes will be raffled off. Participants buy raffle tickets for 10 francs each at the information stand and are thus entered into the draw. Shortly before the award ceremony, all three prizes will be drawn and handed out to the winners. All proceeds from the environmental raffle will directly benefit the sustainability of the event.

The mountain prize for the first arrival on the Chaschauna Pass (2694 meters above sea level) is endowed with prize money of 2000 francs. Both the first woman and the first man to tackle the Vallader route after 137 kilometers can secure prize money of 1000 francs each for their first arrival at the highest point of the entire race route. Reaching the highest point on the Chaschauna Pass, which is marked with a "Mountain Prize" plaque, counts as the first arrival.
