Journey into the heart of Provençal history at the Trail du Château de Caveirac, set for Saturday, 17 January 2026, starting at 15:00 in the picturesque village of Caveirac. This popular event, organized by Les Bipèdes de la Vaunage, expands its offering for 2026 with a new 7.5km distance alongside its traditional 12km trail, both winding through the scenic Vaunage region before a memorable finish in the courtyard of the historic château. The festive afternoon is preceded by four dedicated children's races, ensuring a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere for all.
With a strict participant limit and the important note that free PPS medical certificates expire at the end of 2025, securing your spot for January 17th is essential. It's a classic, community-focused race where the reward for tackling the rolling trails is a generous post-race buffet within the majestic castle walls, blending athletic challenge with timeless local charm.
