On August 22, 2026, the 21st edition of a trail running festival invites runners to explore diverse terrain and charming landscapes. The event features five courses—700 meters, one kilometer, three kilometers, five kilometers, and ten kilometers—all starting at 3:00 PM. Participants will traverse through lush forests and picturesque fields, immersing themselves in the serene beauty of rural France. As runners make their way through the race, they'll pass by a quaint village adorned with vibrant flowers and steeped in historical significance within the Vallée de la Planquette. The trail winds its way past verdant hillsides and meadows, offering breathtaking views of nature at its best. The event promises not only an exhilarating run but also opportunities to discover local landmarks such as the stunning Gothic-style church, a monument historically protected for its architectural beauty. Runners will have the chance to visit the home where renowned author Georges Bernanos lived for many years and explore remnants of the ancient castle fort that once belonged to the Sires de Créquy. For those who wish to stay longer in this picturesque setting, there is also a charming goat farm named La Chévrerie de la Planquette. Registration and payment must be completed online by participants ahead of time as it covers organizational costs for hosting such an enriching event. Participants will enjoy the unique blend of physical challenge and cultural exploration that this trail run offers in one of France's most picturesque regions.
