Trail de la Ronce 2027

Trail de la Ronce takes place in mid-March in Roncherolles-sur-le-Vivier, a village in Seine-Maritime, Normandy. Organized by Jog'Nature, it offers short, hilly off-road courses through forest and natural terrain. Running distances include 8 km, 16 km, and 24 km, with walking options of 8 km and 15 km. The event is not a simple woodland run; organizers describe even the 8 km Nordic walk as challenging, noting the possibility of muddy, uneven ground and recommending appropriate footwear. The named courses indicate the elevation changes: La Osso is the 8 km trail with approximately 228 m of climbing, La Remi is 16 km with 359 m, and La GaillArdE is 24 km with 544 m. For walkers, La Dudu is an 8 km non-competitive option with the same climb as the short trail, and La Grande marche is 15 km with 348 m of elevation gain. Some races permit duo entries, where partners start together and the team's time is determined by the final finisher. Previous events have attracted over 100 participants. The local motto is direct, matching the event's name: “Come or the bramble will sting you!”
