Chausson Valley Trail Run 2026

If you love the smell of a forest and your sneakers prefer dirt to sidewalks, the Chausson Valley Trail Run in Vivier-au-Court is exactly your kind of playground 🌲.

Here, in the Ardennes, you run right through a Grand Est setting that doesn’t do empty talk: natural sections, trails that twist just the right amount, and that “we’re here to have fun” vibe that gets everyone on the same page 👟.

Two formats, two moods: the 7 km to treat yourself without making life complicated, and the 14 km to go a bit farther into the valley and feast your eyes on the scenery 🧭.

And since I’m your local guide, I’ll tell you: the best part is stretching the outing after the finish. Just a few minutes away, you can head to Charleville-Mézières for a stroll around the Place Ducale, pop over to Sedan for its fortress castle, or treat yourself to a green break in the Meuse Valley to recover at your own pace 🍂.

Coming as a duo or with family? A walk along the water, a little city break for a terrace, and boom: you turn your race into a mini getaway. In short, you’re going to chausson the valley… without getting hit with a sole-full of monotony! 🏰
