EcoTrail Paris offers trail runners routes in the Paris region ranging from 10 km to 120 km, accommodating first-timers, regular trail runners, and ultra runners during the same weekend. It takes place in March around Île-de-France, with Rambouillet as the host area and Paris serving as the event’s backdrop. The race series is positioned as an urban trail, focusing on running through green spaces, royal grounds, and city outskirts while remaining near the capital.
The 80 km, the original distance, provides a unique finish: runners conclude on the first level of the Eiffel Tower. The 45 km begins in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles, and the 30 km is the most popular choice for those new to trail racing who wish to avoid an immediate ultra. The 20 km is designed as a nature-focused introduction, the 35 km is accessible yet challenging, and the 120 km is the demanding option for experienced runners. Thousands of runners typically participate, and Salomon’s race village near the Eiffel Tower offers gear advice and support throughout the weekend.
