Marathon de Moulière - Montamisé 2026

Marathon de Moulière is an autumn trail race held in Montamisé, within France’s Vienne department. The start line is at the Maison de la Forêt in Le Grand Recoin. The race is set within the Moulière forest, an ancient woodland area exceeding 7,000 hectares. It features races ranging from 8 km to a full marathon. The marathon distance can be completed individually or as a duo or trio relay. A 20 km race, an 8 km discovery trail, and two children’s races are also part of the event. The course runs entirely on forest trails, passing chasms and local landmarks like the Fosse aux Loups, the Tombe à l’Enfant, and the Sarcophages. Three running clubs jointly organize the event: les Trotteurs du Pinail, les Galopins Baillargeois, and les Foulées Douces de Montamisé. The concept originated when runners from these clubs met during training near the Grand Soubis chasm and decided to establish a communal long trail event spanning their respective home territories. As a relatively new race with a limited number of bibs, it functions more as a club-organized forest gathering than a large-scale urban marathon.
