The Trail Évasion en Pays de Lumbres returns for its 17th edition in Seninghem, Pas-de-Calais, on Sunday, May 10, 2026. This charitable event donates all proceeds to associations supporting young people with disabilities, with this year's funds specifically dedicated to an inclusive housing project in rural areas. Operating under the motto "Run WITH and FOR Extraordinary Children," the event offers natural trail routes that are redesigned every year.
Race Categories and ScheduleThe event provides a wide variety of formats for runners and walkers. All timed trail races start together, while the hiking and Nordic walking options have staggered start times to accommodate different paces.

Located between the Audomarois and Boulonnais regions, the course consists of 95% dirt paths, pastures, and wooded areas. Elevation gain varies by distance, ranging from 200 m to 800 m, and all routes are designed as single loops. The technical segments are paired with scenic viewpoints overlooking the northern French countryside. To maintain safety and the quality of the experience, bib numbers are capped at 1,500 for the trail and 1,000 for the various walking categories.
Logistics and AmenitiesParticipants are welcomed with an early morning breakfast. The courses are well-supported with aid stations; for instance, the 32 km route features three mid-race stops plus an arrival refreshment station. Upon finishing, participants are treated to homemade onion soup. On-site facilities include a chip wagon (Friterie), toilets, showers, and a bag drop. Each participant receives a color-coded wristband specific to their chosen distance to assist with course management and identification.
Registration and ParticipationRegistration is strictly online and closes on May 7, 2026; no on-site registration is available on race day. Trail entry fees increase after March 22. Packet pickup is held on Saturday, May 9, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM or on Sunday morning starting at 7:30 AM. For all timed competitive events, a complete registration file—including required medical documentation—is mandatory for participation.
Mission and ContactEvery registration contributes directly to providing housing and support for "extraordinary children," making this event as much about human solidarity as it is about athletic performance.
