Trail des Gorets

Trail des Gorets is a small trail event in Gilette, a village in the Alpes-Maritimes in southeastern France. The main race is an 18 km mountain trail with about 1,000 meters of climbing, starting in the morning at the end of May. It is still a young event, with only its second edition listed, and entries are capped rather than wide open. The route uses trails around Gilette, with aid stations on course and food included after the finish. Runners get the hard option, while walkers can choose untimed hikes of 4 km or 13 km. Team Goret Trail organizes it, and the setting is the green hill country above the Côte d'Azur, close enough to Nice and Saint-Paul-de-Vence to make a weekend of it.
