Trail de Guerlédan

About the Event

The Trail de Guerlédan 2026 is a legendary athletic event held in the heart of Brittany, centered around the stunning Lake Guerlédan and the Abbey of Bon Repos. Scheduled for Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24, 2026, the race is famous for its deceptive difficulty, featuring relentless "bosses" (small steep hills) and technical single-track trails through the Quénécan forest and Liscuis moors. The event serves as a major regional highlight, known for an electric atmosphere supported by volunteers with over 25 years of experience, and has been selected to host the French Trail Championships in 2027.
