Join us in early October to get your feet moving to the rhythm of solidarity! 🕺
Located 1 hour by public transport from Paris Ⓜ️, a small village in the west of the Oise will let you get some fresh air and break out of your Parisian routine 🏙️. It’s the perfect opportunity to turn your metro-work-sleep 💼 into metro-chrono-sleep ⏱️ for a weekend. The town hall of Chaumont-en-Vexin is organizing its annual Trail de la Foulerie, as part of Pink October 🍂. Take the chance to show off your most fashion running shoes 🩷. In October, you’ll be able to forget everyday worries and do something for those who need it most. Put work and piles of paperwork aside, and come burn off some energy on the Chaumont trails.
Watch your ankles: the winding paths of the Oise are going to put you through your paces in every color 🌈 (and especially pink). The Trail de la Foulerie is split into several courses: a 7 km trail, a 12 km, and a 23 km 🥵. Three distances for all levels that will have you discovering valleys, castles, and forest trails 🌳. But you’re not allowed to stand still in awe of so much beauty, because the other competitors won’t wait for you 😈. If you want to take on your first trail race, you’ll find what you’re looking for on the 7 km route. It’s a short trail combining discovery, forest, and gentle elevation gain that will give you a taste for effort 🏋️♀️. For regulars, the 12 km loop will be a great compromise. A route zigzagging between pines and streams 🏞️ with more than 240 mD+ of climb that’s sure to make your heart race ❤️. Don’t panic if you’re part of that crew of impetuous trail runners ready to run through tides and storms 🌪️: a 23 km is organized in your honor. You’ll be able to run with passion and support a noble cause at the same time 🤝.
A great excuse to answer everyone who keeps saying “running is pointless” 🗣️. The organizers are putting on this race to support Pink October and all women affected by cancer. One more reason to motivate all your lazy friends to crawl out of their holes 🕳️. So come show your commitment to the women around you—your friends, your loved ones—and to all women around the world 🌍.
Once the race is over, don’t go straight back to shut yourself away in your room ❌. Take advantage of the place to expand your historical and cultural knowledge 🧠. Soak up the area: after all, it’s not every day you come to the Oise, right? You can visit the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Church and the Château de Bertichères 🏰, where the start will be given on Sunday morning. Two very well-preserved monuments dating from the 16th century. And if you even want to flex 😎 a little upon arrival, we’ll give you a tip 😉. In fact, the Trail de la Foulerie has absolutely nothing to do with ankles, and it’s a far more interesting story 📚. The race takes its name from the town’s central square, called Place de la Foulerie, which means that this is where the flax 🧺 from the surrounding fields used to be trampled.
So whether it’s for women, for sport, or for culture, lace up and hop in your ride toward Chaumont-en-Vexin! 🏎️
The longest route of the Trail de la Foulerie, intended for the best-prepared runners and those seeking intense thrills 🤯. A 23 km course with 418 mD+ that will make even the best break a sweat 😝.
An intermediate distance aimed at amateur runners who aren’t on their first race 🏁. 12 km may sound short, but once you’re in it, you’ll be wondering "when does this end?" 🛑. The 246 mD+ will require at least some hill training if you don’t want to finish bent in half 😉.
A 7 km course designed for beginner runners or those who want to support the cause more than chase performance 🫶. You’ll still need to spend a bit of energy ⚡️, but a good beer at the finish should be enough to get you back on your feet 🍻 (just be careful not to drink too much 😉).
