Évian Urban Trail 2027

The Évian Urban Trail starts and finishes on Quai Charles Albert Besson in Évian-les-Bains, on the French side of Lake Geneva. It is an annual late-April urban trail event organized by the city sports department, with running, relay, kids' races, and an 8 km walk. The main distances range from short youth courses of 3 km and 4 km to adult formats of 8 km, 16 km, and 30 km. The 16 km Urban Trail Solo uses two 8 km loops with about 400 m of climbing, while the 30 km Solo XL doubles the difficulty with about 800 m of uphill. The course moves between the lakefront, the lower town, the historic center, green upper slopes, cobbled streets, steep alleys, parks, stairs, and trails above Lake Geneva. The 8 km Sprint is a single loop for runners who want a shorter test, and the relay lets two people split the 16 km route by running one loop each. The longest course adds wilder and more technical sections on the heights above the town. The field is broad: solo trail runners, relay pairs, children in age-group races, walkers, and people using the event as a way to see Évian from more than the promenade. The race also gives 1 euro per bib to ASL, a group working to preserve Lake Geneva.
