JUST TRAIL 2026

On November 1, 2026, runners and nordic walkers will gather for an exciting day of competition at the scenic Route du Château d’eau. The event features four distinct races: a long trail run covering 22.4 kilometers, a shorter trail race spanning 13 kilometers, a nature course of 7 kilometers, and a timed nordic walking route also measuring 13 kilometers.
The trails are designed to challenge participants with over 80% off-road terrain, including winding paths through forests and along scenic routes. The parcours is meticulously marked by the organizing committee using clear signage such as signs, ribbons, or flags on both dirt tracks and paved sections, ensuring a safe passage for all competitors.
Participants in the longer trail events will start at 9:00 AM, followed closely by those tackling the shorter distances. All runners must adhere strictly to the designated route markers throughout their journey to maintain order and safety during this high-energy event.
The day's activities begin with the longest race kicking off promptly at 9:00 AM for the trail run of 22.4 kilometers. Just twenty minutes later, a second wave will set out on both the shorter trail course (13 km) and the nordic walking route simultaneously. The nature walk offers an opportunity to explore the area's beauty over its 7-kilometer stretch at 9:40 AM.
Competitors should be prepared for varied terrain as they navigate through a mix of forested paths, gentle hills, and stretches along well-marked trails. Each race promises unique challenges while offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The event is designed to cater to all levels of fitness and experience, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned athletes looking to test their skills against challenging terrain and newcomers eager to explore this beautiful region.
Participants are reminded that accompanying runners or walkers by bicycle is strictly prohibited in order to maintain a safe environment for everyone involved. With its combination of scenic routes and competitive spirit, the event promises to be an unforgettable experience for all who take part.
