The Vinaur Switchbacks 2027

If you like trails that twist just enough to make you smile, The Vinaur Switchbacks live up to their name: here, it snakes, it kicks back up, and it serves you a big breath of Aveyron right in the middle of nature 🌲.

Starting from Bor-et-Bar, you set off for a real green getaway: stretches through the forest, trails that smell like Occitanie, and that little “well-kept secret” vibe we love when we come to run far from the noise 🧭.

Two formats, two vibes: the 10 km to treat yourself without burning your whole day, and the 15.8 km to go looking for a bit more adventure, scenery, and “one more bend… oh no, one more switchback” 😅.

Come for the race, stay for the area. After the finish, take a detour to Najac and its hilltop fortress, go for a stroll in Villefranche-de-Rouergue and its lively square, or head to Cordes-sur-Ciel for a hand-in-hand walk on the cobblestones (yes, it’s photo-worthy) 📸.

And if you’re coming as a duo or with family, you can extend the fun at an easy pace: a little post-meal hike on the surrounding paths, a terrace break in the village, or a picnic in the shade before hitting the road again. In short, you’ll “run the switchbacks” and head home feeling like you traveled, not just took part ✅.
