Celebrate a milestone in the heart of the Ardennes at the 5th Anniversary edition of La Retourne Nature, returning to Neuflize on Saturday, April 4, 2026. This year’s festival of trail running introduces an exclusive 18km Special Anniversary route, taking seasoned runners on a technical journey through the stunning Retourne Valley between Neuflize and Le Châtelet-sur-Retourne. For those seeking varied challenges, the event maintains its popular 12.3km course—a key stage of the Sud-Ardennes 2025-2026 Challenge—as well as a fast and accessible 8.4km nature run. Reflecting the event's growing popularity, the 2026 edition also features an expanded 8km Canicross, allowing athletes to conquer the trails alongside their canine companions. With staggered starts beginning at 2:30 PM, the races wind through lush valley landscapes, offering a mix of rolling terrain and manageable elevation gains. Registration is strictly managed online with credit card only, and while limited on-site bibs may be available for a surcharge, participants are encouraged to book before the late-March deadlines to secure their spot in this limited-capacity event. Whether you are chasing points for the regional challenge or simply exploring the rustic charm of the 08 region, La Retourne Nature delivers a high-quality, community-driven racing experience to mark half a decade of trail excellence.
