La Foulée des Ducs

About this event

La Foulée des Ducs takes runners through the rolling countryside around Château de La Clayette in Burgundy. This winter trail offers three distinct routes — a 13-kilometre introduction with 209 metres of climbing, a 28-kilometre middle distance gaining 690 metres, and a challenging 45-kilometre course that explores the region's varied terrain with 1,274 metres of ascent. The setting around the historic château adds a touch of French heritage to the experience, while the late February date means crisp air and potentially muddy trails that reward careful footwork. The courses wind through forests and farmland typical of this part of Burgundy, where the landscape shifts between gentle and demanding. It's the kind of event where the medieval castle at the start line sets the tone for a proper countryside adventure.
