Nîmes urban trail

The Nîmes Urban Trail is a city trail race held in Nîmes, located in the Gard department of Occitanie. Scheduled for February, it provides multiple options for participation: an 8 km trail with 230 meters of elevation gain, a 15 km trail with 410 meters, a 22 km trail with 550 meters, and an 8 km hike for those who prefer to experience the route without the competitive aspect. The race incorporates Nîmes itself as the course setting, offering participants an urban route instead of a traditional mountain or forest trail. The shorter race includes sufficient climbing to provide a genuine trail running sensation, while the 22 km option presents a longer and more challenging hilly course for experienced runners. The Arènes de Nîmes, the city’s Roman amphitheatre, is noted as a point of interest for participants to explore during the event.
