Trail des pyramides noires

About the Event

Set against the backdrop of the historic and evolving Nord-Pas-de-Calais Mining Basin, the Trail des Pyramides Noires offers runners an immersive journey through one of France's most distinctive landscapes. This ultra-trail event aims to highlight the region’s transformation from its industrial past into a vibrant hub for nature and culture.
The trail winds through lush greenery that once marked the scars of coal mining, now reclaimed as serene parks and recreational areas. Participants will traverse an extensive network of paths that showcase the unique topography shaped by centuries of mineral extraction, including the iconic black hills or "terrils" which dot the landscape like ancient sentinels.
The route is designed to be both challenging and educational, weaving through UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Lens and its renowned Louvre-Lens museum. Runners will also explore the verdant massif forestier of Raismes-Saint Amant-Wallers, a testament to nature’s resilience in reclaiming once-barren wastelands.
Beyond the physical challenge, this event is an opportunity for runners to engage with local communities and appreciate the rich cultural heritage that now defines the region. The Trail des Pyramides Noires complements other popular sporting events like the Route du Louvre marathon and relay race, all contributing to a growing sports tourism industry in Nord-Pas-de-Calais.
As you set off on this ultra-trail adventure, expect an unforgettable blend of physical exertion and cultural discovery. From the unique terrain to the lush greenery reclaiming former mining sites, each step offers insights into the region's remarkable transformation and its promise for the future.
