Trail Nocturne Laize Clinchamps

Discover the magic of night running in the Normandy countryside at the Trail Nocturne Laize Clinchamps on Saturday, February 7, 2026, a grassroots event offering two unique ways to experience the trails after dark. Choose between a guided 7.5km initiation run for newcomers or a 10km autonomous route requiring self-navigation with a provided GPX track, both starting from the festive atmosphere of the village hall. This non-competitive, community-focused run emphasizes adventure over timing, with mandatory reflective gear and headlamps illuminating the path for a capped field of just 90 participants. With a simple €5 entry fee and no medical certificate required, the event strips trail running back to its purest, most accessible form, concluding with a warm welcome and refreshments in the Salle des Fêtes.

Spaces are filling quickly, with the 10km route 91% full and the initiation trail at 72%, so early registration is essential to secure a spot in this intimate nocturnal adventure. Parking is available near the town hall, and the 7:00 PM start ensures a truly immersive evening under the stars. Join this unique Norman tradition for an unforgettable night of camaraderie, exploration, and the simple thrill of running through the silent, shadowed landscape.
