Conquer the densely forested ridges of the Ardennes at the **4th Trail des Torés on March 21-22, 2026**. This increasingly revered weekend trail gathering, staged from the village of Gespunsart, offers Sunday runners a quartet of distinct challenges carved into the steep, silent woodlands of Neufmanil and beyond. The 31km Malbrough delivers the full Ardennes immersion—1,500 metres of positive gain, unforgiving climbs, and a cut-off that separates the truly prepared from the merely ambitious. For those seeking slightly less vertigo, the 17km Brigand winds 700 metres of ascent through Gespunsart's finest singletrack, while the 7km Petit Torés offers a swift, accessible nature run with 300 metres of punchy elevation. A simultaneous 8km marche invites hikers to absorb the same forest cathedral at contemplative pace.
The Saturday nocturne—13km under headlamp—has already unfolded its mysteries by the time Sunday's runners toe the line. Yet the weekend's spirit remains indivisible, bound by shared pasta party the evening prior and the collective exhale as Sunday's finishers stream across the line. Ultratiming ensures precision across all distances, while the organisers' deep local knowledge guarantees courses that reward respect and punish complacency. This is Ardennes trail running at its most authentic: no spectacle, no pretension, just you, the forest, and 1,500 metres of proof.
Registration remains open through the official Ultratiming portal, with 442 entrants already committed to the 2026 edition. The 31km demands particular reverence; its barrière horaire is not merely a suggestion. Challenge categories reward those bold enough to combine Saturday's 13km nocturne with either Sunday's 17km or 31km—a weekend double that separates Torés legends from mere participants. Contact the organisers via the event's Facebook page for inquiries, and consult the full règlement before committing. The forests of Gespunsart hold their breath. March 22 approaches. Are you Torés enough?
