AMP Trail of Saint Fuscien 2026

In Saint-Fuscien, every trail runner takes the right path 🛣️.

It's in Saint-Fuscien, a small French commune located south of Amiens, in the department of Somme, in the Hauts-de-France region that the Saint-Fuscien Trail takes place at the beginning of April. Since 2016, more than 650 enthusiasts start each year on this beautiful 100% nature trail morning 🍃. To celebrate the arrival of good weather, it might be the first weekend where you can slip back into your trail shoes 👟. The communes of Saint-Fuscien and Amiens UC Athletics have prepared a starter – main course – dessert menu just for you 😅. The starter is a "Petite Véronique" on a bed of 8 km. The main course is a "Crapahute de Véronique" in a 16 km wrap. And for the more greedy, the famous "Grande Véronique" chocolate dessert of 24 km. We hope our Trail Saint-Fuscien menu suits you, because we find it very appetizing 😋.

« You told me I was made for a funny trail... 🎶 »

The 1st edition took place in the snow ❄️, the 2nd under a wonderful sun… ☀️ Therefore, for this 8th edition, we don't know how this little Picard village will handle you 😂. This year you don't risk freezing, in this small Picard village, consisting of charming red brick houses and a magnificent neo-Romanesque style church ⛪. Celtic 🍀 and not Romantic will be the musical atmosphere 🎵 of this morning with keywords: good mood and conviviality. You're a real trail runner, you appreciate nature and the beautiful landscapes... You should therefore be delighted with the beautiful plains around Saint-Fuscien, Dury or even Sains-en-Amiénois. Depending on the chosen route, you can count on a light atmosphere, like your strides. In walk or die trail 🏃 format, with a rural walk 🍄 for the 8 km where a best costume contest is organized 👻. The "Crapahute de Véronique" of 16 km is to be completed (without tricks) as a confirmed trail runner. As we like in this type of exercise, the course will offer you many slopes and long false flat ascents in a dirt path setup, in the plains or under woods 🪵. For the most seasoned trail runners 🏅, the Trail of the "Grande Véronique" of 24 km is a very demanding course, including 285 mD+, with a beautiful finale that you will discover.

But by the way, why all these "Véronique" in the race names? The name is due to the finish of the 1st edition which took place at the foot of the Résidence Véronique of Saint-Fuscien. Currently, the finish 🏁 is at Quartier du Petit Marry (I talk about you, because with your soft voice… 🎵) where drink 🥤 and finisher t-shirt 👕 will be offered. Amiens, whether you have a leg in a cast or the outdated Covid-19, you have no excuses not to join us for this event where the enthusiasm grows greater each year 😉.

The little Venice of the North 🛶

Yes, the commune of Saint-Fuscien is located a few kilometers south 🧭 of the prefecture of the Somme, Amiens. The historic capital of Picardy where you can "Run La Jules Vernes" in June and one of the most challenging races in France 🇫🇷, the 100 km and marathon of the Somme in October. As for heritage, in 1835, Victor Hugo 📜 wrote to his wife "Here I am now in Amiens, whose cathedral will occupy me all day, it's a marvel". We don't see how we could better sell it to you 😅. Amiens has a special connection with French writers ✍️ as the city houses the Cirque 🎪 and the "House with a Tower" where Jules Verne lived for 18 years. In terms of gastronomy and still in the form of a menu, let yourself be tempted by the leek pie as a starter, the Picardy string as a main course, and the beaten cake as a dessert 🍰.

We've multiplied so many good reasons, that in the Somme, you just have to join us! 😃
