Take on a classic winter trail challenge that has captured the hearts of Belgian runners at the Trail des Rois Barges on Saturday, January 31, 2026. This popular evening race, starting from the Salle des fêtes in Harzé, offers two scenic but demanding courses: a 22 km route with 1050m of elevation gain and a shorter 9 km option, both already sold out for the 2026 edition, highlighting the event's immense popularity. With a strict participant cap of 700 across all distances, this race promises an intimate atmosphere on the trails as runners tackle the routes starting at 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM respectively.
Well-supported with multiple aid stations and a festive post-race atmosphere featuring food, drinks, and showers, the Trail des Rois Barges is a staple of the winter running calendar. While pre-registration for the 2026 event is now closed, its quick sell-out serves as a reminder to mark your calendar early for future editions of this beloved, well-organized trail running tradition in the Ardennes.
