Trail des Croquants returns on September 6, 2026, for its eighth edition, promising runners an unforgettable journey through the scenic landscapes of St Remy en Mauges. This year’s event offers three distinct trail routes, catering to a variety of skill levels and distances. The longest course is the 24-kilometer off-road run starting at 8:30 AM from La Salle de Sport du Souchay in St Remy en Mauges. With an elevation gain of 500 meters, this challenging route winds through rugged terrain, offering breathtaking views and a true test for seasoned trail runners. For those seeking a slightly shorter but equally engaging experience, the 17-kilometer off-road run begins at 9:00 AM from the same starting point. This course features an elevation gain of 300 meters, providing participants with stunning vistas while keeping them on their toes throughout the journey. The third and most accessible option is a 10-kilometer off-road route that kicks off at 9:30 AM. With just 150 meters of climbing, this course remains highly engaging for runners looking to explore the trails without pushing too far beyond their limits. In addition to these adult races, Trail des Croquants also includes a fun-filled section for young athletes with courses tailored specifically to different age groups: 3-6 years old covering 300 meters, 7-9 years old running 900 meters, and 10-13 years old tackling 1.5 kilometers. Participants are required to present either a medical certificate or a PPS (Polysport Card) upon registration. The minimum age requirements for the adult races are set at 18 years for the 24-kilometer event, 16 years for the 17-kilometer route, and 14 years for the 10-kilometer run. Registration remains open until August 30, 2026, at midnight. It's important to note that this is an auto-sufficiency trail race, meaning runners should come prepared with their own hydration, nutrition, and navigation tools necessary for a successful day out on the trails. Trail des Croquants offers more than just competition; it provides a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in nature while connecting with fellow enthusiasts who share a passion for running through challenging yet beautiful terrain.
