Trail Odarsois

Run for a five-year-old boy named Noé at the **Trail Odarsois on Sunday, March 22, 2026**. This deeply heartfelt event, organized by the Foyer Rural d'Odars in the rolling countryside southeast of Toulouse, transforms every stride into direct support for a young child battling MCOPS12, an ultra-rare genetic condition. Choose your challenge across four trail distances—the new 30km solo or 3-person relay, a 19km loop, an 11km discovery course, or the 11km nordic walk—each winding through the pastoral communes of Odars, Auzielle, Saint-Orens, and Lauzerville. With 80% off-road terrain and modest, runnable elevation profiles (390m D+ for the longest distance), this is trail running stripped of intimidation, accessible to all who wish to move with purpose.
The organisers invite you to wear your heart on your sleeve—literally. Through the association Tous avec Noé, participants can order a commemorative T-shirt for €10 via HelloAsso, its colours visible across the course as a moving testament to community solidarity. The 30km relay, new for 2026, introduces a collaborative dimension to the longest distance: three runners, one timing chip, a shared medal. The 11km randonnée welcomes walkers seeking unclassed participation, while children's races at 11:00 ensure the youngest runners feel the day's joyful spirit. Bib collection spans Saturday at the Odars salle polyvalente and Sunday morning from 07:30, with on-site registration available for non-timed events.

Start times cascade through the morning: 08:30 for the 30km solo, 08:40 for its relay counterpart, 08:50 for the marche nordique, 09:00 for the 19km, 09:15 for the 11km. By 11:00, the course belongs to the enfants, their laughter echoing across the same fields their parents conquered hours earlier.
