Short trail in France
The 'short trail' category refers to trails from 21 km to under 42 km. Elevation gain, however, has no rules! From 0 to infinity, it's the kilometers that count for this categorization. In 2024, there were 1,780 short trail events in France. That's quite a lot. As with any trail, the goal is simple: venture off the pavement for a 100% nature adventure. Dirt paths, dunes, majestic mountains, forest and coastal trails, slag heaps – choose your favorite terrain, though we recommend trying them all!
