L'Allingeoise

The 15th Edition of L’Allingeoise is a dynamic mountain trail event scheduled for Sunday, May 10, 2026, in the commune of Allinges, France. Nestled in the scenic Haute-Savoie region near Lake Geneva, this race is celebrated for its challenging terrain and friendly atmosphere. The flagship event, "L’Allingeoise," is a technical trail designed for runners who possess mountain experience and the ability to maintain autonomy throughout the course. Celebrating a decade and a half of history, the event has grown into a significant regional fixture that highlights the historical heritage of the local châteaux and the natural beauty of the Chablais massif.

Allinges is a historic commune in the Haute-Savoie department with a population of approximately 4,600 residents. The town is famous for its twin medieval castles (Châteaux des Allinges) which overlook the Bas-Chablais and offer sweeping views of the French and Swiss Alps. The demographic profile is primarily French (approx. 94%), characterized by many cross-border workers who commute to nearby Geneva. The median household income in this affluent region is roughly €34,000 per year. Geographically, the trails navigate steep limestone ridges, ancient volcanic outcroppings, and dense pine forests. The climate in early May at this altitude is typically cool in the morning with temperatures rising to around 16°C, though the forest undergrowth can remain damp and technical depending on the spring thaw.

Registration for the 18 km trail is open to adults aged 18 and over, requiring a valid Health Prevention Course (PPS) certificate or a medical waiver. The registration fee of €28 includes a post-race meal, reinforcing the event's commitment to community and conviviality. While the race attracts elite local mountain runners, it also offers more accessible options like the "Marche des Familles" to ensure participation for all levels.
