The Trail des Taloussès will celebrate its 8th edition on Sunday, April 26, 2026, in the village of Aren, located in southwestern France. Organized by the Eths Taloussès association, the event invites runners and walkers to explore the scenic and verdant trails of the Josbaig Valley. The race hub is centered in Aren, providing a local, community-driven atmosphere with three distinct routes tailored to different levels of athletic ability. Following the races, participants are treated to a complimentary sandwich and beverage, with a refreshment stand available on-site to foster a post-race social environment.

Aren is a small commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department within the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. It has a permanent population of approximately 250 residents. The local economy is traditionally rooted in agriculture and viticulture, characteristic of the Béarn province. Geographically, the Josbaig Valley is defined by rolling hills and dense woodlands positioned between the Gave d'Oloron and the foothills of the Pyrenees. In late April, the regional climate is typically oceanic and mild, with average daytime highs of 17°C (63°F) and morning starts averaging around 7°C (45°F). Participants should expect potentially soft ground conditions, as spring rain is common in the Atlantic Pyrenees region.
Logistically, the event is streamlined for participant convenience, with bib collection starting at 7:00 AM on race day at the village center. While online registration closes the evening of April 25, the organizers allow for last-minute registrations on the morning of the event. Rewards are presented to the top three finishers in both the 12 km and 21 km timed races. The 10 km walk remains untimed to encourage family participation and a focus on the natural surroundings. Managed through the Pyrénées Chrono timing system, the event maintains high technical standards while preserving the friendly, volunteer-led spirit of the Josbaig Valley trails.
