OPEN de FAST HIKING

Fast Hiking, an exhilarating blend of traditional hiking and competitive endurance sports, invites enthusiasts to explore the scenic trails with a faster pace than conventional hikes. This challenging discipline, recognized by FFRandonnée (French Federation for Randonnée), combines the relaxed atmosphere of walking adventures with bursts of speed that can border on running.
Participants will traverse well-marked paths or navigate through less structured terrain using only lightweight gear and trekking poles to enhance their performance and efficiency. Fast Hiking is a unique experience, bridging the gap between leisurely hikes and more rigorous trail running events, offering runners an opportunity to push their limits while enjoying breathtaking landscapes at a quicker tempo.
This event promises not just physical exertion but also a profound connection with nature as participants move through diverse terrains, from winding forest paths to open trails that wind around hills and valleys. The use of trekking poles is highly recommended for added support and stability on challenging sections. With its focus on speed and endurance, Fast Hiking presents an ideal setting for those looking to challenge themselves in a supportive community environment.
The race takes place on October 10, 2026, providing participants with the perfect backdrop of autumn foliage and cooler temperatures that make trail running both refreshing and invigorating. Bracing against brisk winds or soaking up warm sun rays as they change throughout the day, runners will experience a dynamic range of conditions along their route.
This event is designed for individuals who appreciate scenic beauty combined with athletic challenge, making it an unforgettable adventure for all levels of hikers and runners alike.
Participants are encouraged to arrive early on race day to familiarize themselves with course details and pick up essential gear. The Fast Hiking event offers a unique blend of competition and camaraderie, ensuring that every step taken is both rewarding and memorable.
