Discovery trail in France
With a distance under 21 km, discovery trail is – as its name suggests – the perfect format to familiarize yourself with the discipline. Trails, dirt paths, fields and mountains, sandy stretches... one rule in trail: (almost) no pavement, only natural ground! Careful though, 'discovery' doesn't always mean 'easy'. It's a reduced format, but not so easy for all that! Check the elevation gain and technicality of the course before launching into one of the 3,600 French discovery trail events.
