Trail des Éléphants d'Hannibal 2027

The Trail des Éléphants d'Hannibal is a trail-running event held in Vic-la-Gardiole, within the Hérault department of Occitanie in southern France. Typically scheduled for early April, it features two primary running distances: a 9 km trail and a 22 km trail. Additionally, the event includes a 9 km hike and a 1000 m Parcours du Père Noël suitable for children or families. The race embraces its elephant theme, earning the nickname “La course aux grandes oreilles,” or “the race with big ears.” The courses are described as trail, nature, and mountain-style, indicating off-road terrain rather than city roads. The 9 km option is designed for quicker runners seeking a shorter effort, while the 22 km is presented as the more demanding and popular distance. The hike allows participants to engage in the event without competing.
