Trail des Goyaves

Conquer the rugged heart of Mauritius on an iconic mountain journey at the Trail des Goyaves 2026 on February 28. This formidable race, starting in the legendary village of Chamarel, offers two distinct challenges: the tough 10km 'Ti Trail' and the extremely demanding 25km main event, which ascends to the island's highest point. Participants are treated to breathtaking singletrack routes through unique endemic forests, with panoramic views from the Plaine Champagne plateau serving as a stunning reward for the relentless climbs. The event emphasizes self-sufficiency and eco-responsibility, requiring runners to organize their own transport and embrace the spirit of 'co-voiturage'.

The 25km distance is reserved for truly experienced trail runners, featuring over 1,300m of elevation gain on technical terrain and granting an official ITRA performance ranking to all finishers. It's a pure, grassroots adventure where preparation is paramount, and the majestic, untamed landscape is both the greatest challenge and the ultimate prize. More than a race, it's a passage through the raw, volcanic soul of Mauritius, testing endurance against some of the Indian Ocean's most spectacular and difficult trails. Prepare for an authentic, unfiltered trail running experience where every step earns its view.
