On the program: a journey through time, heading to the past of the city of Besançon and its forts listed as UNESCO heritage sites.
What you'll find there
• A stunning setting: yes, the ramparts open just for you, offering you unique views of the Citadel as far as the Doubs;
• A well-organized structure: refreshments, assistance, first aid stations... no stress, just sweat!
• A great atmosphere with a concert on Saturday evening, entertainment, and a festive village where you'll find plenty of advice... and energy.
Focus on the routes:
Whether you're here for a thrill or a first experience, the Trail des Forts has what you need ! The flagship course of 62 km and 2350 m D+ takes you from urban peaks to wooded hills via historic forts. Fancy a softer format? Choose from the other distances, from 11 to 42 km, which will also have you walking the ramparts of the Citadel and enjoying an unparalleled viewpoint.
To all the kids in the assembly: no jealousy, you also have something to run.
Bonus challenge: the strong ones can measure themselves against the special triptych (22 km + CLM 5 km + 11 km). A quest on another level for those who really want more!
3 (very) good reasons to participate
• Pretend you're a valiant knight on the road to save the damsels, minus the chainmail;
• Do trail running without going to the mountains (but not without elevation gain);
• Run in a village with UNESCO-listed monuments.
