Aymon Trail 2027

The Aymon Trail is a February trail race held in Bogny-sur-Meuse, French Ardennes. Winter conditions can make the forest paths challenging and unpredictable. Participants can select from three hilly courses: approximately 18-19 km with 800 m of elevation gain, 32-33 km with 1600 m, or a 42 km marathon route with about 2000 m of climbing. The courses traverse trails between the Meuse and Semoy valleys, ascending to ridges and viewpoints overlooking the Ardennes landscape. The race, established in 2015, incorporates local legend by honoring the four Aymon brothers—Richard, Guichard, Renaud, and Allard—who sought refuge in the massif with the fairy horse Bayard after slaying Charlemagne’s nephew, Berthelet. A statue of the brothers near Bogny-sur-Meuse is visible to runners, lending the event a distinct local character.
