Trail des cuisses

Your thighs are going to burn, and that's an understatement! The Trail des Cuisses is a night-time adventure where your headlamp becomes your best ally. Organized by EVSP, this event takes you on two technical courses – 11 km or 16 km – for a deep dive into nature, guided by beams of light and a rising surge of adrenaline.

What you'll find on the day:

• Courses made up of 85% paths and trails. Here, we recommend watching where you put your feet, not gazing at the stars;

• A liquid refreshment station approximately 5 km from the finish line (remember your eco-cup, we won't lend you one!);

• At the finish line, the ultimate reward: piping hot French onion soup, homemade cakes, mulled wine to warm you from the inside, and for the food lovers, the legendary pizza/beer combo. Yes, happiness sometimes comes in a slice and a pint;

• A welcome gift for every participant, so you leave with full hands and emptied legs.

Course focus:

The Trail des Cuisses features playful and technical terrain, best tackled by the light of a headlamp. Roots, tight bends, stinging climbs: everything you need to test your balance and determination. Over 11 km or 16 km, you'll feel every step, every breath and… every burn in your quadriceps. But the thrill of crossing the finish line in the dark of night? Unbeatable.

3 (very) good reasons to take part:

• Running at night on technical trails and feeling the adrenaline with every stride.

• Enjoying a friendly atmosphere and a indulgent post-race spread: onion soup, mulled wine, pizza and beer.

• Taking on a real challenge, solo or in a duo, with a ranking that blends performance and strategy.
