R&B Running Series

The R&B Running Series brings a vibrant, music-filled atmosphere to the streets of Sacramento, California. Scheduled for Saturday, May 16, 2026, this event combines community fitness with a high-energy soundtrack, offering both 5K and 10K distances. The race is designed to be inclusive, welcoming both competitive runners and casual walkers to a course known for its flat and fast profile.

Participants can choose to compete individually or join a team to enhance the social experience. For those unable to attend the physical event in Sacramento, a virtual 5K option allows runners to log their miles from any location. The event is managed by Troy Williams and provides a professional racing environment with a focus on rhythm, blues, and cultural celebration.

The Trail Beaume Drobie is a multi-distance mountain running event set in the rugged landscape of the Cévennes Ardéchoises. Taking place on May 16 and 17, 2026, in Valgorge, France, the TBD offers a range of technical challenges through the Ardèche wilderness. The event is well-known for its steep ascents and preserved natural trails, providing a pure "nature" racing experience for limited participant fields.

The courses at Valgorge are permanently marked, allowing runners to access and train on the trails year-round starting from the Salle de la Pourette. In addition to the timed trail races, the event includes organized hikes (Marche Verte and Marche Bleue) that follow the scenic river and valley paths. All finishers are invited to a traditional Ardéchois buffet, celebrating the local culture and hospitality of the region.
