The Nature's Challenge Race, set for Sunday, October 25, 2026, offers an exhilarating experience with a self-paced three-hour duration over a four-kilometer trail. This second edition is limited to just 200 participants and can be run solo or as teams of two.

Entry fees are €10 per individual or €15 per duo, and all proceeds will support the Eugène Marquis Center. The race is open only to those holding an official permit or license. For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, a free walking option with donations benefiting the same center is available, starting at 10:00 AM. Registrations are now open from June 14, 2026, at noon; mark your calendars and prepare to embrace this unique outdoor challenge. The picturesque route will take you through diverse landscapes, ensuring a memorable experience for all participants. Whether you're aiming for personal bests or simply enjoying the natural beauty around you, there’s something here that suits every runner's spirit.
