Join us on Sunday, October 4, 2026, for the Trail de la Châtaigne, an exciting trail running event that celebrates the natural beauty and rich heritage of the Lewarde area. This year's edition promises to be a memorable journey through some of France’s most stunning landscapes. The race offers various distances suitable for all levels of runners: 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, and even shorter routes designed specifically for young participants (300 meters and 1 kilometer). Each route takes you on an adventure through the lush trails of Bois de Lewarde and around the historic Fosse Delloye site. The highlight of the event is a visit to the ancient Fosse Delloye, now home to France’s largest mining museum – the Centre Historique Minier. Participants will experience breathtaking views as they navigate winding paths through dense forests and open fields dotted with charming villages. Alongside the natural beauty, runners can look forward to an array of services designed to enhance their race day experience: a gift for every participant, on-site massage therapists, refreshments at aid stations, photo opportunities, raffle draws, and post-race showers. The event kicks off early in the morning from Avenue du Bois with staggered start times: - 9:00 AM for the 5 km race - 9:45 AM for a short 300-meter course (for children) - 9:50 AM for a one-kilometer run (also for younger participants) - 10:00 AM for both the 15 km and 10 km races This family-friendly event is not just about competition; it’s also an opportunity to connect with nature, history, and fellow runners in a festive atmosphere. Whether you’re an avid runner or simply looking to explore new terrain, Trail de la Châtaigne offers something unique for everyone involved. Don’t miss out on this special day filled with adventure, discovery, and community spirit!
