About the Event

Immerse yourself in the rugged beauty of Quercy Blanc with our trail and Nordic walking events. This year, we offer three distinct running trails: a challenging 28-kilometer route that ascends over 500 meters, a more moderate 15-kilometer course gaining 350 meters, and an accessible 10-kilometer option rising 200 meters. For those who prefer Nordic walking or simply wish to explore the landscape at their own pace, we have two scenic routes of 10 kilometers and 13 kilometers, both with a climb of approximately 200 meters.
The terrain is predominantly natural, featuring over 80% unpaved paths, single-track trails, and off-road sections that wind through some of Quercy Blanc's most untouched wilderness. The scenery along the way showcases iconic landscapes unique to this region, offering runners and walkers alike a true connection with nature.
Our event also accommodates adventure-seekers in wheelchairs or those using Joëlettes for the 10-kilometer trail race and both of our guided walks.
After your run or walk, unwind at our gourmet market starting from noon, where local vendors offer an array of delicious treats to fuel up on post-event. Whether you're a seasoned athlete pushing limits or someone looking for a leisurely exploration through Quercy Blanc's natural splendor, this event promises an unforgettable experience in one of France’s most scenic regions.
Join us and discover the untamed beauty of Quercy Blanc firsthand.
