Lautrec Trail Nocturne is a night trail race in Lautrec, Tarn, southwest France. It offers two distances: 8 km with 190 m elevation gain and 14 km with 346 m elevation gain. Organized by Association Lautrec Sports Nature, start and bib pickup are at Gymnase Jacques Mazens.

The event covers mountain-bike circuits, hikes, and children’s races, attracting families and non-runners alongside trail athletes. Post-race, participants receive garlic soup and a hot meal, with shower facilities and a local DJ providing evening entertainment. The event supports an Adapted Sport Association, and live GPS tracking via an app allows real-time spectator following.
