August 15th Cross-Country Run 2026

If you’re in the mood for a bib number that smells like nature and wide-open spaces, the August 15th Cross-Country Run in Oriol-en-Royans is exactly your kind of meetup 🌿.

Here, in the Royans (Drôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), you run at the foot of the Vercors, between playful paths, welcome shady spots, and viewpoints that make you slow down… just to look 🏞️.

Come solo, with friends, or with family: there’s a 10 km to enjoy yourself without spending the whole day on it, and a kids’ trail so the youngest can have their moment of glory too… and pride 👟.

After the race, don’t rush off too fast: just a stone’s throw from Oriol-en-Royans, you’ve got plenty to turn it into a mini trip. Go for a stroll in Pont-en-Royans and its hanging houses, head up to the Choranche Cave for the wow factor, stop by the Saint Anthony the Great Orthodox Monastery for a timeless break, or gain some altitude toward Vassieux-en-Vercors if you want to extend that wide-open-spaces vibe ⛰️.
