Trail de La Fleur du Roy

On July 14th, immerse yourself in the heart of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region at Corrençon-en-Vercors for an unforgettable trail running experience. The Trail de La Fleur du Roy offers runners a unique opportunity to celebrate National Day with breathtaking landscapes and challenging terrain.
Organized by the Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers, this event features two distances: 14 kilometers (Trail XXS) and 24 kilometers (Trail XS). Both routes promise an exhilarating journey through the Vercors mountains. The shorter trail is perfect for those seeking a sporty escape, while the longer distance caters to endurance enthusiasts.
The course traverses diverse terrains including lush forests, rolling meadows, and winding paths that hug mountain peaks. With elevation gains of 539 meters for the XXS race and an impressive 1,073 meters for the XS route, runners will encounter steep climbs and descents along the GR91 trail.
Participants can expect panoramic views from some of the region’s highest points, such as the Croix de La Sambue, Belvédère des Granges, and the charming hamlet of La Fleur du Roy. These vistas provide a stunning backdrop to an already thrilling run.
After crossing the finish line, runners have plenty of options for unwinding or exploring further. Just under an hour’s drive away in Grenoble, you can visit historical sites like the Bastille for sweeping city views or take a stroll through Jardin des Dauphins with your family. For those interested in culture and art, the Musée de Grenoble offers engaging exhibits.
Nature lovers will find solace at the Parc Naturel Régional du Vercors, where paragliding adventures await for an unparalleled aerial perspective of the park’s beauty. Alternatively, a visit to Villard-de-Lans with its array of summer activities like mountain biking and horseback riding is just around the corner.
For post-race recovery, the Thermes d'Uriage provides soothing thermal waters to ease tired muscles after your race.
