Immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of Savoie at the 2026 Entrelacs Run & Trail, a premier mountain running event scheduled for Sunday, April 5. Set against a backdrop of wooded trails and panoramic lake views, this adventure is designed to cater to every level of athlete, from those taking their first steps on dirt to seasoned mountain goats. The event prides itself on a warm, communal atmosphere that champions the core values of endurance: self-transcendence, camaraderie, and a profound respect for the natural environment. Whether you are racing solo or sharing the experience with family, the trails of Entrelacs offer a deep connection to the wild heart of the French Alps.
The crown jewel of the event is the "Entre-Lac et Cîmes" trail, a formidable 60 km ultra-marathon featuring a significant 2,800 meters of vertical gain. This demanding course is officially recognized by the ITRA and UTMB Index, making it a strategic early-season challenge for those preparing for major summer objectives. Beyond the elite distances, the program includes various trail formats, a dedicated hike for those who prefer a slower pace, and two youth races for budding champions. To maintain the integrity of the ecosystem and respect private property, official GPS tracks are exclusively released one week prior to the start, ensuring the race remains a sustainable celebration of the Savoie territory.
Sustainability is at the core of the Entrelacs mission, with a robust "leave no trace" policy that involves every participant and volunteer. The organization has eliminated disposable cups, implemented reusable marking systems, and prioritizes local, seasonal products at all refreshment stations to support the regional economy and reduce carbon footprints. By avoiding superfluous promotional items and encouraging carpooling, the event proves that high-level competition can exist in harmony with the flora and fauna. For those whose plans change, an official bib resale platform ensures that entry management remains fair and transparent, keeping the spirit of the trail accessible to all.
