The Leitora Trail: la nocturne starts runners and Nordic walkers after dark from the multi-purpose hall in Lectoure, Gers, southwest France. Organized by A l'air libre, it's a night trail event with short races: 5 km, 10 or 11 km, and 16 km options, starting around 7 PM with enough climbing to make the routes punchy.
The courses use tracks, paths, and trails, with some paved sections requiring adherence to the highway code. The Nordic walk is a timed 11 km event, La Grande Ourse, with about 240 m of climbing and a limit of 30 bibs. The trail program also includes Petite Ourse and Voie lactee, plus a couples challenge. A previous listing noted about 350 participants, indicating a local Gers night race with multiple formats from the same town-center start.
