Both races at Trail des sangliers begin together at 09:30 in Poitiers, located in the Vienne department of western France. This is a December trail-running event organized by EPA 86, offering two Trail découverte options: 16 km and 9.5 km.
The longer route includes +170 m of elevation gain, while the shorter route has +115 m. Both are modest trail courses, not mountain races. Each entry costs 7 euros, positioning the series as a small, affordable local race with sufficient climbing to feel off-road without demanding an entire day.
