La Graves Automnale - Portets is a trail running race held in Portets, located in the Graves wine region south of Bordeaux. Graves Runners 33 offers two race distances, 9 km and 15 km, with the courses winding through the Portets vineyards instead of urban streets.
The event originates from a recently formed local running club, established by six members of the town's athletics club. Its president, Mathieu Delas, a Portets resident and real estate professional, transitioned to running after a successful career as a high-level fencer. He now competes in events ranging from half marathons to ultra-trails. Graves Runners 33 comprises approximately 70 members, maintains affordable dues, and holds training sessions twice weekly in the evenings at the local stadium.
