Trail du Ségala

The Trail du Ségala, set to take place on Sunday, November 8, 2026, promises an exhilarating day of running and camaraderie amidst the picturesque landscapes of Valderiès. This year's edition welcomes Noémie Girot as its patroness—a formidable athlete with a remarkable track record in Powerlifting. She currently holds 13 titles, including one world championship title and two silver medals at the World Championships, along with six European championships and six national titles. In October 2025, she broke her own world records by lifting an impressive total of 417.5 kg across three disciplines: Squat (145 kg), Bench Press (90 kg—the French record) and Deadlift (182.5 kg).
The event features a diverse range of trails catering to various skill levels, from seasoned runners to beginners:
- A challenging 28.5 km course with an elevation gain of 853 meters.
- A more moderate 16 km route boasting an ascent of 471 meters.
- An introductory 8 km individual trail, climbing a total of 112 meters, perfect for those looking to ease into the sport or enjoy a shorter run.
- For teams and groups, there is also an 8 km team event, where three runners work together over an elevation gain of 112 meters.
In addition to these competitive trails, participants can opt for a leisurely pedestrian hike covering either 13 kilometers with 215 meters in elevation or a shorter 10-kilometer trek ascending 177 meters.
Registration is now open on the Klikego platform and will remain available until Friday, November 6, at 6 PM, unless the maximum number of participants has been reached before then. For minors wishing to participate in either the individual or team 8 km trails (from Cadet category onwards) or the 16 km trail (for Juniors), parental authorization is required and must be submitted during registration.
Tariffs will increase from October 21, so early sign-ups are encouraged for better pricing. It's important to note that no additional registrations will be accepted after November 6th, including on race day itself. However, hikers can still register via a downloadable paper form available until 30 minutes before the start of each walk at 8:30 AM.
Participants and spectators are invited to pre-order their post-race meal for just €16 by Monday, November 2nd, subject to availability.
The Trail du Ségala welcomes runners from all backgrounds and looks forward to seeing you in Valderiès for the twelfth edition of this celebrated event.
