The Trail des carrières de Beaulieu is a small trail-running event in Beaulieu, a village in the Hérault department of Occitanie in southern France. Scheduled for early October, it features two short off-road distances: 10 km and 16 km. The 10 km race involves a climb of approximately 150 meters, and the 16 km race has a climb of about 250 meters. Both routes are hilly, offering a trail running feel without the intensity of mountain ultras.
The name references the local quarries. The event maintains a straightforward format: select the 10 km for a faster run or the 16 km for a longer run with additional climbing. Entry fees are reasonable, with bibs priced at 10 EUR and 16 EUR for the respective distances. ATS-SPORT manages the timing, and the event provides live GPS tracking, a fan zone, app alerts for supporters, and emailed results.
