Trail de la vallée de l'Ouche

A summer Sunday, trails heating up under your feet, and a playground made for elevation enthusiasts. The Trail de la Vallée de l'Ouche is that event that takes you from pleasure to effort… then back to pleasure, with a slight taste of wanting more.

What you'll find on site:

• A range of formats going from a 500 m kids' race to the 42 km / 2000 m D+ Maratrail, including 29 km, 14 km, 9 km and even a 12 km Nordic walking course;
• Marked routes on trails and paths, with just enough relaunches and climbs to remind you why you're there;
• Well-placed aid stations (up to 4 on the 42 km) and a finish line with enough to recharge your batteries, solid + liquid;
• A tight organisation with staggered starts from 7am, registration open from dawn and smooth logistics (parking, bib collection, everything is sorted).

Course focus:

No pretences here. Each distance has its own character, but they all share the same DNA: natural terrain, elevation that makes itself known, and effort management that quickly becomes strategic.

The 42 km takes you on a real day out, with 2000 m D+ to tackle and self-sufficiency to manage between aid stations. The 29 km is no filler either, with its 1500 m D+. On the shorter formats, it stays punchy, accessible but never easy: it climbs, it relaunches, it keeps you on your toes from start to finish.

In short, whatever the distance, you'll have to put in the work. And that's exactly what we come here for.

3 (very) good reasons to take part:

• Finding the format that suits you, from the long challenge to the more explosive race, without ever losing the essence of trail running;
• Testing your self-management skills, especially on longer distances where nothing is left to chance;
• Living a true trail Sunday, with that mix of effort, simplicity and camaraderie at the finish around a good aid station… or a well-deserved sandwich.
