Trail des Cuisses is a late-autumn trail race held in Écuisses, a commune in Saône-et-Loire, France. Participants can select shorter off-road distances, with available options including 11 km and 17 km, and a 16 km race also noted. The event features a night-race format, offering the appeal of running local trails after dark instead of a typical daytime road course.
The 11 km route includes approximately 240 to 280 metres of elevation gain, presenting a moderate challenge. An 11 km duo option is available for those wishing to compete as a pair. The 17 km distance is the most popular choice. The event emphasizes a welcoming local atmosphere and courses suitable for both novice and seasoned trail runners.
