TRAIL DE PLAINTEL

Trail 2026 is set to debut with an exciting lineup of four trail running courses and two hiking routes, catering to runners and hikers alike across various skill levels.
The flagship event on the Trail 2026 calendar is a challenging 42-kilometer race that starts at 7:15 AM under the cover of darkness, requiring participants to carry headlamps due to an hour of night running at the beginning. The course features four aid stations stocked with both liquid and solid food options for runners to refuel along their journey through varied terrain. With a total elevation gain of 1100 meters over rugged trails, this race is designed for experienced trail runners who are prepared for a significant challenge. A strict cut-off time at the 36-kilometer mark ensures that all participants can complete within an expected window of five hours and fifteen minutes.
For those looking to tackle shorter distances, there’s a 25-kilometer course starting at 9:30 AM with two aid stations offering both liquid and solid options. This route includes a total elevation gain of 730 meters across varied terrain, providing runners ample opportunity for scenic views while still pushing their limits.
A more moderate option is the 12-kilometer trail run that begins at 10:00 AM with one aid station along the way. With an elevation climb of just over 250 meters, this route offers a mix of terrain and scenery without overwhelming runners who are less experienced in long-distance events.
The event also features a unique women-only race covering 6.5 kilometers starting at 11:15 AM with a relatively modest total ascent of 110 meters. This shorter distance is designed to be approachable for all levels, offering an exclusive experience for female runners while raising funds for the League Against Cancer through full registration refunds.
In addition to these running events, Trail 2026 includes two hiking routes: an 8-kilometer and a 13-kilometer option. Both start at 8:30 AM from the tennis hall near Espace Océane Crapado with no pre-registration required; participants can simply pay five euros on-site to join.
All events offer post-race souvenirs for finishers, creating lasting memories of their participation in Trail 2026. The event is designed to accommodate a total of up to 1750 runners and hikers across all distances, ensuring an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere as participants enjoy the scenic beauty of the area.
