Halloween run - Coulounieix-Chamiers

The Halloween run is an evening trail event in Coulounieix-Chamiers, Dordogne, held near Halloween. It provides two trail races suitable for beginners: one approximately 12 km with about 240 m of elevation gain, and another about 9.5 km with around 180 m of elevation gain. The starts are staggered in the evening, giving the event a night-run atmosphere instead of a typical morning trail race. The courses are designated as Trail decouverte, indicating accessible trail running in France, not a long mountain race. COCC Athletisme organizes the event, which recently saw just over 300 participants. The key characteristics are the straightforward Halloween theme: a local club race, short, hilly trails, reasonable entry fees, and participants running after dark in Coulounieix-Chamiers.
