Plougastel Noz Trail - Plougastel-Daoulas 2026

Plougastel Noz Trail is a night trail race held in Plougastel-Daoulas, on the Finistère coast of Brittany. Participants can select either a 10 km or 16 km distance. The 10 km race begins earlier in the evening, with the 16 km race commencing after dark. This event focuses on trail running along the coast at night, distinct from a road race. Both race distances feature single-loop courses that follow the coastline, with the sea nearby. The darkness alters the perception of the terrain underfoot. The 10 km course includes 136 m of elevation gain, and the 16 km course has 316 m of climbing. The longer distance offers a significant increase in challenge without becoming an ultra-marathon. This race is designed for trail runners seeking a Breton coastal run experience, incorporating headlamps, night air, and a concise selection of distances.
