La Vilonovo

The 32nd edition of the ViloNovo Natural Run returns on Sunday, April 5, 2026, offering a quintessential trail experience in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. Organized by the VILONOVO Association with the vital support of the local Cyclo-club, this historic footrace unfolds in the commune of Villeneuve. Participants will navigate a scenic 10.5 km loop that winds through the undulating hills and dense woodlands of the Eastern Luberon Regional Park. This year’s event carries a special mission of solidarity, as one euro from every registration will be donated to the "Espoir pour Guillaume" association, blending athletic endurance with a heartfelt community cause.

Designed to be inclusive of all nature lovers, the day also features a dedicated hiking mode starting shortly after the main race, allowing walkers to enjoy the same pristine trails at a relaxed pace. To ensure the safety and tranquility of all competitors, the organizers maintain a policy that domestic animals are not permitted on the course. Starting and finishing in the picturesque setting of Villeneuve, the ViloNovo is a celebration of the region's wild landscapes and a long-standing tradition for the local running community. Whether you are chasing a new personal record on the forest paths or simply soaking in the Provencal atmosphere, this early April gathering remains a highlight of the departmental sporting calendar.
