About this race
Trail des Torés is a forest trail race in Gespunsart, a village in the Ardennes department of France’s Grand Est region. It is planned for the end of March and offers two main distances: an 8 km route for runners trying trail for the first time, and a 24 km route aimed at more experienced trail runners.
The courses run through the Ardennes forest, with GPX tracks available for runners who want to study the route in advance. The race is organized by ACGN, and past fields have drawn runners from across the Ardennes, Belgium, and Thiérache, with roughly a hundred finishers on each distance. The event has a hands-on local feel: volunteers prepare the hall, mark the trails, and even runners have helped finish the course marking before race day. Gespunsart is also close to Charleville-Mézières and Sedan, so the race sits in a quiet forest area within easy reach of two of the Ardennes’ better-known towns.
