Argelès Nature Trail 2027

Argelès Nature Trail is a spring trail-running weekend held in Argelès-sur-Mer, utilizing the Valmy routes above the Mediterranean side of the Pyrénées-Orientales. The program offers multiple trail distances, a Nordic walk, a nature hike, and four children’s races. The longest option is 23 km with 1,650 m of elevation gain, available also as a duo entry. Shorter distances include 15 km with 800 m of gain, 10 km with 250 m, and 7 km with 300 m, providing varied levels of challenge over the same weekend. The courses are set in the Valmy area, resulting in hillier terrain than the sea-level location of Argelès-sur-Mer might imply. Both licensed and non-licensed runners are eligible to enter, with men’s and women’s categories for certain distances, and children’s races are free. The association Courses de la Massane organizes the event, ensuring safety with control posts and a medical team. Registration requires standard French race documentation: an FFA competition license, Pass’Running, a medical certificate, or PPS.
