TRAIL DES TECTOSAGES

Immerse yourself in the rich history and vibrant heritage of Vieille-Toulouse with the Trail des Tectosages, an epic race that celebrates the legacy of the Volques Tectosages, who ruled this ancient capital over 2300 years ago. The trail stretches through both Vieille-Toulouse and Pechbusque, areas once part of the expansive territory governed by these formidable people.
The Volques Tectosages were renowned for their bravery, courage, endurance, honor, and sense of community. Their last known leader was Copillos, a figure who epitomized the values cherished by this ancient tribe. The Trail des Tectosages honors these ideals through its signature event, "Le Défi de Copillos," which challenges runners to summon every ounce of mental strength and physical prowess.
As you traverse rugged landscapes and historic sites, each step brings you closer to understanding the spirit that animated the Volques Tectosages. The race is more than a test; it’s an exploration of endurance and community values embedded in the very soil underfoot. Only those who embody the tenacity and resilience of their ancestors will triumph by crossing the finish line within the allotted time, carrying forward the legacy of Copillos.
This trail offers runners not just a physical challenge but also a journey into the heart of ancient history, making it an unforgettable experience for all participants.
