About this race
La Verticale Trail begins with an ascent from Saint-Martin-de-Boscherville, a village in the Seine Valley near Rouen. The event offers three trail running distances: 10 km, 20 km, and 30 km, alongside a 10 km walk. Starts are staggered, beginning with the 30 km, followed by the 20 km, and then the 10 km run and walk.
The race's setting provides a distinctly local Norman character. The village features an abbey designated as a historic monument, and the courses run alongside the river valley, differing from a large-city race environment. Participants in both running and walking events gather at the same site, where a band, DJ, and host provide entertainment, and food is available for purchase post-race.
