Trail de la forêt de Caen - Saint-Laurent-de-Condel 2026

The Trail de la Forêt de Caen is a trail race held in late November, starting from Saint-Laurent-de-Condel. Runners navigate the paths within the Forêt de Grimbosq. Two distances are available: La Flague, a 10 km course with 230 m of elevation gain, and Le St Laurent, a 20 km course comprising two 10 km loops with 460 m of elevation gain. The race operates in self-sufficient mode, requiring participants to carry their own supplies, with food and drink provided only post-race. Finish refreshments consist of fruit, chocolate, water, and raisins. Participants must provide their own cup and safety pins for the race bib. L'Orientation Caennaise is the organizing body, with Ultratiming managing registrations. The event has previously sold out weeks in advance, with no on-site registrations accepted. Dogs, mountain bikes, and walking poles are prohibited. The top three male and female finishers in each distance receive podium recognition.
