Immerse yourself in the stunning landscapes and rich history of Auvergne at the Forez Trails, set to take place on March 7, 2027. Nestled between the mountains and forests of Livradois-Forez Regional Park and a Natura 2000 area, Augerolles awaits runners eager to explore its breathtaking trails. The event offers four distinct distances catering to all levels of experience, from beginners looking for an introduction to trail running to seasoned athletes seeking a challenging endurance test. The Faye is the ideal entry point at 12 kilometers, perfect for those new to the sport or young enthusiasts ready to taste the joy of trail running without excessive strain. For more ambitious runners, the Olmetoise offers nearly 25 kilometers with its mix of terrain and elevation changes. The Augerolloise presents an intermediate challenge over 33 kilometers, offering a tough but achievable course that will test your endurance before nightfall. The ultimate adventure awaits in the FOC (Forez Ouvert Courte), stretching over 50 kilometers with almost 2,000 meters of elevation gain, designed for those who thrive on pushing their limits. Participants can also enjoy a non-timed hike covering 12 kilometers through picturesque scenery without early morning starts. All courses are meticulously marked and include breathtaking views along the Faye stream, where runners traverse footbridges while marveling at the natural beauty surrounding them. The historic Château de la Faye serves as an iconic landmark on several routes, offering a momentary respite for breath and reflection amidst its rich history. The trails will be well-supported by path openers, signallers, and sweepers to ensure your safety throughout the journey. Upon crossing the finish line, runners are invited to indulge in Auvergne's renowned gastronomy with local specialties such as Ambert cheese produced at high altitudes and wild blueberries served fresh or baked into delicious tarts. The region also offers a variety of cultural attractions like the Château d’Aulteribe near Augerolles, Moulin Rochard de Bas in Ambert where paper is still handcrafted today, and the Roger-Quilliot Art Museum in Clermont-Ferrand featuring collections from medieval times to the 20th century. With temperatures ranging between 0°C and 12°C, make sure to dress appropriately for a comfortable run. The Forez Trails promises an unforgettable experience blending natural beauty with historical charm, making it a must-visit event for trail running enthusiasts.
