The race is open to binoms formed by students attending an engineering school belonging to the Institut Mines Telecom network. Students start from their respective school schools and are given an objective by the organizers, usally 100 to 200 km away. When they reach the that objective, they are to send a proof to the orgasisers organisers (Usally usally a selfie in front of a city sign) so that they can be communicated the next objective. The objectives are following a set route for each school, with the last one being common to all. A party is held at arrival, wich is always an IMT network school. It was organized by "Mines Douai" sudents, and since the 2017 edition by "IMT Lille Douai" students as Mines Douai merged with Telecom Lille to give IMT Lille Douai.
