Trails in Tarn-et-Garonne

Looking to leave the pavement behind and tackle authentic trails? Welcome to the "82", a department that breathes the Southwest and friendliness! 🏖️ Formerly connected to Guyenne and Languedoc, this area of 3,717 m2 is a land of contrasts where the trail calendar is as varied as its landscapes 🌲. Between the fertile plains around Montauban and the rugged terrain of Quercy, you have the perfect playground to find your next challenge! The climate is mild, often accompanied by the wind of autan, making the experience of nature running particularly pleasant, although the humidity along the Garonne can sometimes surprise your calves 👟.

As for heritage, Tarn-et-Garonne doesn't joke with history 📖. By crossing classified villages like Bruniquel or Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val, you run in the footsteps of the writer Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres or the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle, both native sons 🎨. Don’t be surprised if, around a limestone trail, you come face to face with a medieval bastide or the Old Bridge of Montauban. This department is a true open-air museum where each stride brings you closer to the Occitan terroir! And for the post-race, we suggest aiming for local specialties: a good chasselas from Moissac or a piece of Agen prune to recharge, all washed down (in moderation) with a wine from the Coteaux du Quercy 🍇.

For those who love slopes, the positive elevation is mainly found in the east of the department 📈. The Gorges de l'Aveyron offer technical and wild tracks that have nothing to envy of neighboring mountain ranges ⛰️. Here you can test your endurance before reserving a bib for the most sought-after events. Among the must-attend events, don't miss the Trail des Trois Rocs, an immersive experience in the middle of the forest, or the Trail du Pastel for a more rolling atmosphere. The Trail de Terrides is a must-see; you'll discover the Château de Terrides! It will be the main attraction of the race and you'll have the chance to see it up close, no matter your route 🏁.
