About the Event

Conquer the legendary slopes of Alsace's iconic vineyard hills at the Trail du Petit Ballon in Rouffach on March 1, 2026. This premier event offers four epic distances, from the grueling 52km "Petit Ballon" ultra to the scenic 12km "Mini Trail de l'Âne," each weaving through world-renowned Grand Cru vineyards, fragrant forests, and up to breathtaking panoramic ridges. The atmosphere is one of grand challenge and regional pride, where the physical demand of the climbs is matched only by the stunning beauty of the Vosges foothills and the warm, festive spirit of Alsatian hospitality.

More than just a race, it's a journey through the very heart of Alsatian terroir, where runners literally traverse the slopes that produce some of France's most celebrated wines. The event is meticulously organized with tiered pricing and participant caps, ensuring a high-quality experience whether you're aiming for the ultra-marathon crown or a memorable morning on the "Circuit des Grands Crus." It’s an invitation to test your limits on historic trails, to earn your views with every steep ascent, and to celebrate with a well-deserved taste of local culture at the finish. Secure your spot early for a truly iconic Alpine trail running experience.
