Festival des Hospitaliers 2026

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Nant, France, the Festival des Hospitaliers returns on October 24, 2026, offering runners a unique blend of scenic trails and challenging terrain. The centerpiece of this event is the Larzac-Dourbie course at an impressive distance of 29.65 kilometers, winding through rolling hills and lush forests that showcase the region's natural beauty. For those seeking something more manageable yet equally rewarding, there’s the La Nantaise race covering a hilly but picturesque 14 kilometers with a total elevation gain of 560 meters.
The event also includes shorter options for runners looking to experience the thrill without committing to longer distances: the Mini Trail Dourbie at 2.5 kilometers and the Mini Trail Durzon, stretching just 1.5 kilometers through charming local landscapes. Adding an element of fun and community engagement is the Animation race, a mere 0.95-kilometer dash that invites everyone from casual spectators to seasoned athletes alike.
Participants can expect vibrant energy as runners traverse varied terrains, with stunning views at every turn, making this festival not just about competition but also celebrating the rich heritage and natural splendor of Nant.
