Orient'Express 42 - Pélussin 2027

Orient'Express 42 - Pélussin is a spring orienteering event in Pélussin, France, scheduled for an early-March Friday. It features two hilly courses: an 11 km route with approximately 400 meters of elevation gain, and a 25 km route with approximately 1,040 meters of elevation gain. Even the shorter route requires fitness beyond that of flat-road running. The event is organized by Orient'Express 42, a Pélussin club affiliated with the French Orienteering Federation. This club has dedicated roughly four decades to promoting orienteering in various formats and assisting members in refining their skills. Consequently, the race is more akin to a navigation-focused club activity than a typical road race.
