About this race
The Trail des Truffières begins in Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux, Drôme, within the Tricastin region of the Rhône Valley. This trail event, held in mid-November, offers four distances: 11.8 km, 20.6 km, 27.9 km, and 48.5 km. The longest race involves approximately 1500 meters of climbing, and the 28 km route features about 635 meters of ascent, providing options from a short run to a demanding day on the trails. Participants can compete individually or in pairs, with some races available in both daytime and nighttime formats.
The courses traverse singletrack and paths winding through former truffle grounds, inspiring the event's name and theme. Starting from the Gymnase du Resseguin, runners proceed into the hills of Chameau and Chatillon, cross sections of the Clansayes plateau, and pass through Bois Noir. Mont Ventoux is visible from certain points along the routes. The race embraces its truffle connection with the motto “Si t'es champion, appuie sur le champignon !”, a playful phrase referencing mushrooms and accelerating.
