Trail of Guerlédan 2026

The only battle you'll fight here is against yourself because we're trail runners, we're not buddies but we have the mental and muscles we need, muscles, fresh trails, fresh trails... 🎵

We invite you to come blow off steam in the very heart of Brittany at the Trail of Guerlédan. This historic race (yes, we can say that since it was created in 1999, the year The Matrix was released) will give you the chance to discover, during a trail in a idyllic setting, the impressive Guerlédan Lake and its surroundings 🏞️. The spring greenery will accompany you from the Côtes d’Armor to the Morbihan as you push yourself on the heights of the Blavet Valley under the June sun. What more could you ask for?

You'll set off with your rhythmic stride on one of the five distances offered. It's up to you to choose between the 8 km "Forges Girls", a women-only race, the 13 km "Trail of Liscuis", the Interceltic 26 km, the just 36 km or the mythical Trail of Guerlédan and its 63 km. And for the super warriors, a challenge is also proposed: the 100 km with no limits. The goal is to chain the 36 km and 63 km... enough to have future aches for days to come! Trail of jokes 🤣, the route of your Trail of Guerlédan will dazzle your eyes and legs 🦵 (you guessed it, by saying this, we're preparing you for a lot of elevations, you better always take the stairs haha)! On a changing terrain perfectly in sync with the landscape, you'll be able to exceed yourself along the Guerlédan Lake, the moors of Liscuis, the Anse de Sordan, the Bellevue lock or even around the Guerlédan dam. After running on the single-track, rugged, rolling, and verdant trails 🌿 around the largest artificial lake in Brittany (indeed, the 300 hectares of the Guerlédan Lake will not leave you indifferent), you will finally reach your destination. No matter where you start, your final will be in front of the majestic Abbey of Bon-Repos. Even it suggests you take a break 🤣.

Once you've exerted yourself and sweated with a warrior's elevation gain, we suggest cooling off on Guerlédan Lake by trying out nautical activities, one paddle, a kayak, and you're done! And as they say, "water makes you hungry," go and savor the local specialties from the Guerlédan biscuit factory 🍪. Tempted to try some buckwheat chips? You'll have to tell us all about it! To finish in style, you can also stroll around the flower-filled town of Pontivy or visit its medieval Rohan castle 🏰.

Ready to launch yourself on the Trail of Guerlédan, you'll see, you'll feel great in it! 👌
