The Trail de Grand Cognac is Julienne in great-outdoors mode: paths that smell like nature, vineyards as far as the eye can see, and that little taste of adventure that makes you forget everyday life the moment you slip on your shoes 🌿.
You pick your challenge depending on your mood that day: 9.5 km to treat yourself without having to talk yourself into it, 18 km to go and earn that “wow, I did it,” or 24 km to gift yourself a beautiful long-haul escape 🏃♂️.
And if you come with your four-legged companion, you’ll love the canicross / canitrail vibe: here, you run as a duo, tails wag, and every surge turns into a mini collective “boost” 🐕.
The playground is quintessentially Charente: simple, authentic, a change of scenery, with that New Aquitaine charm that makes you feel like you’ve gone far without going far—basically… “grand” without taking itself too seriously 😉.
After the race, save a bit of energy for a stroll: head over to Cognac (very close) to walk along the quays of the Charente, stop by Jarnac for a waterside walk, or head up to Angoulême for a breath of culture and lovely views from the old town 🏰.
As a couple or with family, you can also treat yourself to a gentle break: a little outing through the vineyards around Julienne, coffee on a terrace in Cognac, and a peaceful sunset over the Charente countryside… a way to end the day with heavy legs but a light smile ✨.
A next-gen platform helping sports enthusiasts of all levels discover territories and heritage through races tailored to them.
