Set against the stunning backdrop of Fonds Saint-Denis, the Raid Denisiens Trail Race offers runners an unforgettable challenge through rugged terrain and breathtaking landscapes on September 27, 2026. Organized by the Association de la randonnée pédestre, this event features two distinct courses that cater to various levels of experience. The main attraction is a challenging 15-kilometer route with a cumulative elevation gain of 852 meters, designed for seasoned trail runners and those seeking an exhilarating adventure. Participants will depart at 07:45 AM, setting off on a journey through winding trails that wind their way up steep ascents and along scenic ridges. For those looking to enjoy the beauty of Fonds Saint-Denis without pushing themselves too far, there is also a shorter but equally rewarding 10-kilometer circuit with an elevation gain of 566 meters. This route departs earlier at 07:30 AM, allowing runners to experience the area's natural splendor and challenging terrain in a more relaxed setting. Both courses are meticulously planned to showcase the region’s diverse topography, from dense forests to open meadows. The race begins and concludes on Place Jules PAIN, providing participants with easy access and ample parking options for both athletes and spectators alike. To ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment, all runners must obtain their bib numbers at a designated stand set up by the Association’s volunteer team in partnership with Intersport Dillon on September 26, 2026. Additionally, organizers stress the importance of adhering to specific guidelines regarding mandatory equipment for each participant.
