Trail de la patate - Plœuc-L'Hermitage 2026

Trail de la Patate is a trail-running event in Plœuc-L’Hermitage, Côtes-d’Armor, Brittany. Typically held in October, it starts from Ploeuc-sur-Lié, offering wooded routes across several distances instead of a single race. The program features short trail options around 8 km and 14 km, and a longer race listed between 21 and 23 km. One listing also mentions routes from 3 km, indicating the event accommodates both beginners and experienced trail runners. The courses primarily traverse local woods and countryside, with staggered morning starts for the longer, middle, and shorter races. Registration is capped, giving it the feel of a local club event rather than a large open race. Plœuc Run & Trail and the Sainte-Anne school parents’ association have organized it for over a decade, and the race is part of the Challenge du Gouët au Lié. The "Patate" name is a recent addition, providing a playful local identity while maintaining the event's core structure: straightforward trail distances, affordable entry fees, and a community race day in inland Brittany.
