Trail des Luthiers

Run through the heart of French luthier country at the **8km Trail des Luthiers on Sunday, March 22, 2026**. Organized by Vosges Course à Pied (VCAP) from the elegant Cours Stanislas in Mirecourt, this accessible, fast-paced trail offers a perfect spring opener for cadet runners (born 2010 and earlier) and seasoned competitors alike. The 8km course, departing promptly at 9:45, winds through the rolling foothills of the Vosges—terrain that rewards agility without demanding extreme vert, leaving runners free to focus on pace, position, and the simple pleasure of movement through forests awakening from winter. With 497 places still available as of mid-February, entry remains generously open via HelloAsso.
Every finisher receives a commemorative lot, while category winners earn coupes and médailles recognising their speed across age groups. Bib collection opens at 8:00 from the Grange à Sons, just steps from the start line; vestiaires and post-race douches await at the nearby stade. The €8.80 entry fee includes €0.80 in platform fees—modifiable downward should you wish to waive the optional contribution to HelloAsso's sustainable association model. VCAP, the organizing club, has cultivated this event as a celebration of local running culture: no pretension, no overcrowding, just 8 kilometres of Vosges hospitality.

Contact the association directly via the HelloAsso page for inquiries regarding règlement, licensing requirements, or the mandatory Pass Prévention Santé for adult participants. Minor runners must generate a free, race-specific health attestation via the FFA portal before race day. The 2026 edition marks another chapter in Mirecourt's enduring relationship with running—a relationship measured not in UTMB points or corporate activations, but in the steady rhythm of feet on Vosges soil. Register now, claim your bib, and discover why this corner of Lorraine remains one of French trail running's most cherished secrets.
