Trail of the Castle 2026

At the Trail of the Castle, you come to treat yourself… and you leave with your head full of images, between nature, forest and old stonework around Creully, in the heart of Calvados in Normandy 🏰.

Here, the setting puts on a show: lush green paths, shaded stretches, a “Norman fairy-tale” vibe, and that little extra soul when the castle is never far away 🌳.

You choose your adventure depending on how you feel that day: 1.7 km for a taster, 5 km to enjoy yourself without burning out, 10 km to challenge yourself, 15 km for a real getaway, 21 km for a big sporty outing, or the 2 x 5 km relay if you’d rather share the effort and double the smiles 🏃‍♂️.

And after you cross the finish line, keep the fun going just a stone’s throw from the start: go take a look at the Château de Creully, stroll through the village center and its little streets, then head on to Courseulles-sur-Mer to breathe in the sea air and treat yourself to a well-deserved break 🌊.

If you’re coming as a duo or with family, here’s a simple plan: an easy stroll to the nearby D-Day landing beaches, and end the day in Bayeux for a walk and a good meal—turning your race into a real “castle, feel-good” weekend ✨.
