Urban Trail Nogentais 2026

Urban Trail Nogentais is an evening urban trail run held in Nogent-sur-Seine, located in the Aube department of France’s Grand Est region. Participants begin at the Centre Technique Municipal, with choices of an 8 km route or a 16 km option comprising two circuits of the same path. A 1.5 km children's run is also featured. The elevation gain is moderate, with the longer race offering up to 100 m of ascent. This makes the event suitable for novices, club athletes, and individuals seeking a brief city trail experience rather than a mountain challenge. The course winds through Nogent-sur-Seine, incorporating both urban elements and natural areas. It connects heritage locations, historic streets, monuments, quays, stairways, narrow passages, and secluded green areas. Espérance Endurance Trail organizes the race, collaborating with the Association des Donneurs de Sang Nogentais. The event benefits volunteer blood donors and promotes awareness for blood donation. This fosters a community atmosphere, where participants attend for the run, but the race also serves a local purpose of solidarity.
