The 6H of La Balerme 2026

The 6H of La Balerme is the meet-up where you come to rack up loops… and you leave with memories in your legs (and your head) 🧯.

Here, the concept is simple and ridiculously addictive: you’ve got a 6.7 km loop with just the right amount of elevation (70 m D+) to spice things up ⛰️.

Every hour, a new start is given, and you choose your adventure: you stop whenever you want, or you head out for one more loop, up to 6 loops possible 🔁.

What I love in Verfeil is the atmosphere: it runs on the clock, you manage your effort, you cheer on the others, and you catch yourself thinking “come on, one more” (La Balerme gets under your skin… without doing your head in) ⏱️.

The start is on the Chemin de la Balerme, and the organisation by the Amicale des Sapeurs Pompiers de Verfeil always adds that extra bit of heart that makes all the difference ❤️.

And after the race, stick around—it’s worth the detour: take a stroll through downtown Verfeil to unwind, head to Lavaur for a nice walk, push on to Saint-Sulpice-la-Pointe for a change of scenery, or treat yourself to a trip to Toulouse if you’re after a terrace and a more urban vibe 🍷.

You come to stack up the loops, you leave with a mini-trip to Occitania in your pocket—and that’s anything but a race that just goes round in circles 😉.
