Nocturne de Ribes 2027

Nocturne de Ribes is a 13 km evening trail race starting from the Salle polyvalente in Ribes, a village in Ardèche, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The route includes 450 meters of elevation gain, making it short enough to be accessible yet challenging enough for experienced trail runners. Bib collection and pre-race activities commence at 5 PM, with the race beginning at 6:30 PM. A headlamp and survival blanket are mandatory for all participants. The course winds through nature trails surrounding Ribes as dusk settles, featuring one aid station before the finish. A windbreaker might be advisable, aligning with the semi-nocturnal nature of the event where changing temperatures and dim light are factors. The finish line offers a substantial aid station with traditional soup, contributing to the event's community-trail atmosphere rather than a purely competitive focus. Association Faites du sport is the organizing body, and the registration details mention a duo option, indicating suitability for those preferring to share the experience rather than compete individually.
