Blue Moon Trail 2026

Each year, the Blue Moon Trail in Ailly-sur-Noye, in the Somme (Hauts-de-France), invites runners to experience a unique nighttime adventure 🌙. Held at the end of March, this night trail event often marks the first big nature gatherings of the season. With a headlamp on, you set off on the Picardy trails for a race that combines effort, immersion, and imagination. Several trail distances are available, designed for regular trail runners as well as those looking to discover the sport, not forgetting the children's races. The Blue Moon Trail is distinguished by its atmosphere and universe, far beyond a mere starting and finishing line.

The course of the Blue Moon Trail mainly unfolds in the heart of nature 🌲. Forest trails, paths along the Noye, and more technical sections make up a varied route. The night heightens sensations and requires constant attention, especially on restarts and narrower passages. The shorter formats are accessible and fun, while the longer distances cater to runners capable of managing their effort and alertness in the dark.

What truly sets this race apart is its immersive nighttime atmosphere ✨. Light shows, shadow plays, and references to the legend of the Blue Moon accompany runners throughout the course. The environment is carefully crafted to offer an original experience without ever betraying the trail spirit and the joy of running in nature.

The experience doesn't stop at the finish line 😊. The race village, the friendly volunteers, and the refreshments contribute to a welcoming and warm atmosphere. People share their impressions, relive the race, and simply enjoy the moment. In Ailly-sur-Noye, this late March night trail has become a much-anticipated event for both runners and supporters alike.

A race that kicks off the season, a night that leaves a lasting impression 🌌.
