Gonfa'Trail 2027

Gonfa'Trail begins and ends in Gonfaron, a village in the Var department of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, sending runners into the Massif des Maures in late April. This trail-running event offers several distance options, ranging from the 13 km Trail De La Fouquette to longer mountain routes of 28 km, 42 km, and 67 km. One route measures 47 km with approximately 2,200 meters of elevation gain, indicating the longer races involve significant challenges beyond simple dirt paths. The course crosses a hilly, natural area of southern France, with the Maures massif, its elevation, and forested terrain shaping the routes. The shorter race provides an entry point for less experienced trail runners, while the marathon and ultra-distance options cater to those seeking a demanding challenge. The race's slogan, “Tu dois etre Gonfler a bloque !”, cleverly uses the Gonfaron name and suggests the need for intense preparation and effort. Following the race, participants can explore the Cote d'Azur beaches or visit the nearby monastery of La Verne.
