La Richemontoise

La Richemontoise is a 13 km nature race in Richemont, Moselle, France’s Grand Est region, typically held in early September. It is a relatively new event, with limited entries and a local atmosphere fostered by the organizing association Les P'tits Potos. The route combines road sections with forest paths surrounding Richemont, featuring approximately 150 meters of elevation gain. This adds a moderate challenge without becoming a strenuous mountain trail. The race cultivates a festive, family-oriented ambiance, and its self-description, “more seasoned than an old vintage,” aptly captures the spirit of this short local trail event, encouraging participants to appreciate the countryside alongside their race times.
