Saintger trail - Saint-Germain-Laprade 2027

The 26 km option, featuring 1,100 metres of climbing, presents Saintger'Trail's challenging course. However, the event covers more than just this demanding trail race. It takes place in Haute-Loire, starting from Saint-Germain-Laprade, utilizing the Plaine sports complex as its central hub. Typically scheduled in the spring, the race is organized by Les Foulées de Saint-Germain Laprade. Participants also have the choice of shorter trail distances, such as a 16 km route with 550 metres of elevation gain and an 8 km route with 150 metres of gain. The event also includes mountain bikers and walkers, contributing to a local outdoor gathering atmosphere rather than a singular race day. The courses are set within the countryside surrounding Saint-Germain-Laprade, with new trail, VTT, and hiking routes introduced in recent years. Dedicated children's races, covering 300 metres, 800 metres, and 1.5 km, ensure family participation. The organizing club also maintains a charitable tradition, donating proceeds from the hikes to an association supporting individuals with serious illnesses.
