About this event
Set in the heart of the Belgian Ardennes, the Houffa Trail offers runners a challenging journey through Houffalize's rolling forested terrain. With seven distances ranging from an accessible 11km to a demanding 63km ultra, the event caters primarily to experienced trail runners seeking serious elevation gain. The night race options add an atmospheric twist, with headtorches illuminating the technical paths through dense woodland. March conditions typically mean runners face muddy, technical trails that reward good footwork and determination. Houffalize's compact medieval town provides a welcoming base, and the varied distance options mean training partners of different levels can share the weekend. The generous elevation across all distances makes this a solid early-season test for anyone building towards bigger spring objectives.
