Short Trails

Beware, young padawan, don't be fooled: for mere mortals and runners, finishing a "short" trail is a remarkable feat! 🤯 If you want your body to follow your ambitions, your training must be up to the task. In France 🇫🇷, these nature runs 🍃 are available in all seasons and in every corner of the country.

Whether you prefer climbing mountains ⛰️ to brush the stars, running along the seaside 🌊, or venturing into forests 🌲, with more or less elevation, by day 🌞 or night 🌙, you'll surely find your happiness. And don't forget, a few short urban trails are also on the menu to add a bit of spice 🌶️ to the experience.

Let's tease you a bit before you launch into your quest. Head to the north-west of France, in Brittany, to discover gems like the Trail of Vannes Ramparts 🏰, the 20 km du Ruban Bleu in Fréhel 🐚, or the Menestrail in Moncontour 🌃. Unique events not to be missed, to be carefully marked in your race calendar! 🗓️ If you want to explore the exceptional heritage of our beautiful country while feeling your body vibrate, then register for the Run in Mont Saint-Michel by Harmonie Mutuelle🏝️; the bay of this little paradise in Normandy is unique in the world, and your steps will be too! In the heights of Rhône ↗️, find challenges like the LUT by Night 🦉 or the Winter Trail of Coursières 🏃, between Saint-Étienne and Lyon. Further south, on the French Riviera ⛵, don't miss the must-attend event of your running season: the Salomon Bandol Classic! 👟

With good training, you have the potential to become a legend in the discipline 😎, like the British Thomas Roach 🏴, world champion in 2023, the Norwegian Stian Angermund 🇳🇴, or Jonathan Albon. On the women's side, there are figures like the French 🇫🇷 Clémentine Geoffray, world champion in trail short distance in Innsbruck, Laura Hottenrott or Céline Lafaye! So, are you ready to join the illustrious names of the Trail universe? 🏃‍♂️

And if you're struggling to choose, draw straws 😉.
