Races in France
France's trail running scene stretches from Brittany's coastal paths around Plouguin and the Rance valley to Alsace's rural landscapes near Strasbourg, with vineyard routes winding through the Corbières and forested trails in the Vosges. Runners tackle terrain ranging from the Atlantic pine forests of Mimizan to the rolling côteaux of inland regions, often following historic towpaths along the Seine or traces through Breton woodland. Events span intimate village races in Lorraine and the Seven Valleys to urban courses in Paris and Lyon's surrounding countryside.
