About this race
The Trail Blanc des Vosges is a winter trail race held in Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle, located in France's Grand Est region. It typically takes place at the end of January or early February, a period when snow is anticipated. This event focuses on natural trails, distinct from road races, and offers 18 km, 7 km, and 5 km distances.
The start and finish are situated at the Rouge... station, positioning the race within the Vosges mountains rather than a town center. The 18 km route involves approximately 500 metres of elevation gain, the 7 km route around 220 metres, and the 5 km route, though shorter, is steep with about 300 metres of gain. Organizers target runners who enjoy snow and evening runs, emphasizing winter trail conditions, cold air, and a mountain station ambiance.
