The Foulées des Crayats is a trail race held in the Ardennes, in France’s Grand Est region, with its main 7 km event taking place in early February. The race is set in the woods of Neufmanil, making it a forest run rather than a road race, and the 7 km distance is the most popular option offered.
The course consists of a single loop through the trees, presenting a straightforward format: one lap, 7 km, with a trail underfoot. The previous edition attracted over 100 participants, creating the atmosphere of a local winter race for runners seeking a short off-road effort in the Ardennes woods.
