Les foulées de Coursac 2026

Les Foulées de Coursac is a two-day trail running event held in Coursac, a village in Dordogne, France, during November when trail races in the department are less common. The event offers more than a single race: participants can select daytime trails, a night trail, combined night-and-day challenges, canicross events, a hike, and a children's race. The main trail distances are 8 km, 12 km, and 20.5 km, with elevation factored in, extending some options to 9.5 km, 15.5 km, or 27 km. The short course has approximately 150 m of elevation gain, the 12 km routes climb about 350 m, and the longest day trail ascends about 650 m. The most unique option is the combined format, beginning with a 12 km night trail followed by either a 12 km or 20.5 km day trail. A 12 km hike is also available with the same 350 m climb as the mid-distance trail, alongside a 1.5 km children's race. The Comité des Fêtes de Coursac organizes the event, which has a history spanning many editions; older formats included 5 km, 10 km, 16 km, 19 km, and 20 km races.
