Trail de la vallée de la thure by night

Steep climbs, technical terrain over 12 or 16 km… and all of this in the dead of night! Strap your headlamp on tight, because this trail is no joke. Hidden roots and steep slopes will put you to the test, as you weave between the trees and brush past the old quarries of Cousolre. One thing is certain: you're going to have to give it everything you've got!

What you'll find on site:

• A unique atmosphere: trail running enthusiasts, all equipped with their headlamps, ready to take on the valley's terrain;
• A technical and demanding course: climbs that burn your thighs, descents that test your balance, all in the heart of wild nature;
• A homemade soup and a feast at the finish: after the effort, it's time for comfort with solid, sweet, salty, and liquid refreshments — everything you need to get back on your feet;
• A respect for nature: bring your eco-cup, because here we care about the environment — no disposable cups!

Course focus:

Whether you choose the 12 km or the 16 km, you'll immerse yourself in the valley of Cousolre in the most intense way possible: in the dead of night. The steep climbs will wake up your thighs, the technical descents will test your clarity and balance, while the forest sections and the edges of the old quarries will give the course an almost mystical dimension.

3 (very) good reasons to participate:

• Experience the magic of a night trail, where every step is guided by the light of your headlamp and the raw sensations of the terrain.
• Discover a technical and wild course, through forests, slopes and forgotten quarries, that tests the mind as much as the legs.
• Enjoy a friendly and warm atmosphere at the finish, with homemade soup and well-deserved comfort.
