TRAIL DE GUIP'

On January 31, 2027, Guipavas Oxygène is hosting the Fifth Edition of the Trail de Guip’! A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Les Boucles en Or, an association dedicated to supporting children with Angelman syndrome and their families.
The event offers several challenging courses:
- Grand Trail de Guip: 42 km route with a total elevation gain of 1000 meters. Participants must start at 8:00 AM and adhere to the time limit set by an average pace of 7 kilometers per hour.
- Trail de Guip: A 32-kilometer trail run, featuring a cumulative ascent of 650 meters with mandatory starting times also set for 8:00 AM. Both Grand Trail and Trail participants are required to bring specific gear including a whistle, hydration system (bottle or flask), survival blanket, headlamp or chest lamp.
- Course Nature: A shorter but scenic 12 km trail run offering an elevation gain of just over 270 meters with a start time at 9:00 AM.
- Secret Course: An exciting surprise course to be revealed on the day itself. Participants must arrive by 9:00 AM and are encouraged to bring their own hydration containers as no cups will be provided along the route.
All runners cross through Guipavas' famous quarry, experiencing both steep descents and climbs that test endurance and technical skills alike. The Grand Trail de Guip offers two full aid stations plus three water points, while the shorter trail run features one main station with liquid supplies only.
The event is held at Espace Sportif Europe in Guipavas (80 Rue du Commandant Challe), offering ample parking near Super U or close to the venue. Participants can collect their race numbers and gear during designated times leading up to the day of the run, either online through KliKego until January 27th at 8 PM or in person from January 29th onwards.
After crossing the finish line, runners are invited to enjoy a hearty post-race meal including a warm beverage and crepes. A portion of proceeds will go towards Les Boucles en Or, ensuring that every step taken contributes positively to this important cause.
Registration for all timed events must be completed online via KliKego by January 27th at 8 PM; on-site registration is available based on availability. The non-competitive march offers a relaxed route of 10 kilometers through woodland and countryside, starting at 9:30 AM with on-the-day sign-ups only.
For safety reasons, all runners must adhere to licensing requirements as specified by the French Athletics Federation (FFA), including valid medical clearance or participation in their Parcours de Prévention Santé. These rules apply to both adult and junior participants alike.
Join us for a day of scenic running through some of Brittany's most beautiful landscapes while supporting an important cause!
