Beaver Trail 2026

The Beaver Trail is a series of technical trail races held in Poulx, a small commune near Nîmes in the Gard department of Occitanie, taking place under the October sun. It features five trail races and a walking option: 9 km, 18 km, 28 km, 50 km, 80 km, and a 10 km Nordic walk. The Ti' Beaver covers 200 m of elevation gain, the 18 km Beaver Découverte has 650 m of climbing, the 28 km Beaver Confirmé climbs 1,200 m, the 50 km Beaver Intense gains 1,850 m, and the 80 km Trail Peï lists 1,000 m of ascent. The courses traverse the rugged natural terrain surrounding the Gardon gorges, with the river accompanying participants through an area covering three Natura 2000 sites. The 28 km and 50 km races are eligible for ITRA points and serve as UTMB World Series Qualifiers. They are also part of the Challenge Gardois des Trails, with Beaver Trail being the second-to-last event before Hivernatrail in December. The 10 km Nordic walk includes a charitable component, with its entire registration fee donated to the League Against Cancer.
