Trail de Queue d'Ane 2026

If you want a race that smells like Dordogne and the charm of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the Trail de Queue d’Ane in Saint-Jean-de-Côle is exactly your kind of thing 🗺️.

Here, you alternate between village stretches (blond stone, alleys that ring out under your footsteps) and nature right next door, as if the scenery changed with the rhythm of your stride 🌿.

You choose your adventure: 11.4 km to treat yourself without burning out, 13 km for a nicely rounded run, 17.2 km to push a little farther, or 28.6 km when you want to really earn the post-race meal 🏃.

And then, admit it: running a “Queue d’Ane” makes you want not to act like… a donkey, and to sign up 😉.

After the finish, stay nearby: take a look at the abbey of Saint-Jean-de-Côle, stroll around the Château de la Marthonie, then settle by the Côle for a quiet recovery with a leisurely walk vibe 🏰.

If you extend things a bit, take a trip to Brantôme (the “Venice of the Périgord”, perfect for a hand-in-hand stroll) or stop by Thiviers for the market atmosphere and tasty bites to nibble on at a terrace 🍽️.
