Trail Des Grands Couteliers - Nontron 2027

Trail des Grands Couteliers is a trail-running weekend in Nontron, organized by Team GC, featuring a night race followed by a full set of daytime events. The shortest adult run is La Nocturne, a 9.5 km evening race with 320 m of elevation gain. The main trail options are 12 km, 24 km, and 36 km. Walkers have a 12 km route, and children can race over 1.5 km, 3 km, or 4.5 km. The routes primarily traverse private land, with organizer access limited to race day, so participants do not see the exact courses beforehand. This secrecy is part of the event's design: entrants receive profiles, but the actual route is disclosed on the day. The longest race, Le Grand Trail des Couteliers, covers 36 km with 850 m of elevation gain. The 24 km race includes 550 m of climbing, indicating it's more than a simple local run. The event welcomed over 900 participants upon its return, with runners, walkers, and children integrated into the same program.
