Le Bol d'Air Barbenais 2026

Le Bol d'Air Barbenais is a mid-June trail race in La Barben, a village in the Bouches-du-Rhône area of southern France. The event focuses on short off-road running in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, utilizing nature and forest paths instead of a city-road course. Runners can select between 9 km and 15 km trail distances, and the program also features a 10 km option along with races for children and juniors. The courses are loop-style routes around La Barben. The shorter distances make the event accessible to newer trail runners as well as local club runners. Its results history indicates varying distance labels over time, including races around 9-10 km and 14-17 km, plus a walking category in at least one edition. Finish numbers have frequently been in the low hundreds, with the 10 km race attracting over 500 finishers at its peak and another named race, Le mur biotech, listing over 700 participants. Practical updates are typically shared via Facebook, aligning with the character of a local race offering a broad village-and-family program rather than a large commercial festival.
