L’Enfer du Viroin By Train

About this event

L'Enfer du Viroin By Train explores the rugged valleys and forested ridges of Belgium's Viroin region, a hidden gem near the French border. Starting from the charming village of Nismes, runners tackle three demanding courses through the Ardennes terrain — 15km with 500m of climbing for those testing the distance, 26km with 1000m for intermediate trail runners, and the full 36km covering 1300m of elevation for seasoned adventurers. The 'By Train' concept adds a unique twist, making this remote corner of Belgium accessible without the usual logistics headaches. March conditions bring unpredictable weather and potentially muddy trails, adding character to an already challenging route. The event's name hints at the difficulty, but the dramatic limestone cliffs and quiet forest paths reward those who embrace it.
