Returning for its second edition, the Trail des Potians builds on last year’s success with an even more ambitious lineup of events and courses. Set within the picturesque La Grée des Moulins nature site, this trail offers runners a challenging yet rewarding experience amidst lush forests and scenic valleys. The 2026 event features four distinct race distances designed to cater to various skill levels: - The 35 km course (starting at noon) is tailored for seasoned athletes seeking an intense physical challenge. With over 1,100 meters of elevation gain, this route showcases the technical terrain and varied landscapes that make Trail des Potians unique.
- For those looking for a more accessible yet still demanding experience, the 21 km race (starting at 1:45 PM) offers nearly 600 meters of climbing. This course is ideal for regular sports enthusiasts who are up for an adventure. - The 14 km run (beginning at 2:45 PM) provides a dynamic and engaging route with around 320 meters of elevation gain, perfect for runners looking to enjoy the trail while maintaining a steady pace. - For newcomers or those seeking a shorter introduction to trail running, the 9 km course (starting at 3:30 PM) offers an inviting entry point. With approximately 180 meters of climbing, this route is designed for all skill levels and features scenic views along its path. In addition to these adult races, Trail des Potians also includes a fun option for young runners with two children's courses (500m and 1km) scheduled in the evening at 6:00 PM. These shorter routes allow younger participants to experience the thrill of trail running on a smaller scale. The event promises an atmosphere that is both welcoming and festive, thanks to enthusiastic volunteers, engaging activities along the course, and high-quality amenities at the start/finish area. Last year’s edition was celebrated for its warm welcome, lively animations, generous raffle prizes (over €1000 in gifts), and convivial post-race discussions. This year, expect an even more vibrant atmosphere with food stalls offering refreshments, a variety of beverages, and continuous entertainment throughout the day. The evening concludes around 7:30 PM with "La 3ème mi-temps des Potians," organized by local partners ETINCELLE. This event features live music from DJs, karaoke sessions, and delicious catering options to ensure everyone enjoys an unforgettable night. Trail des Potians is more than just a race; it's a celebration of trail running culture, community spirit, and the natural beauty that surrounds La Grée des Moulins. Join us for what promises to be another memorable edition filled with adventure, camaraderie, and breathtaking scenery. Join Trail des Potians 2026 this summer for an experience you won't soon forget!
