Trail des Verts 2027

Over 80% of the Trail des Verts routes follow forest trails near Fontcouverte, in Charente-Maritime. This spring trail-running event offers four races for adults, three for children, and a walking route, accommodating club runners, families, and those preferring a hike. The adult races consist of four loops, one run at night, with specified climbs of 190, 210, 330, and 530 metres of positive elevation. The courses traverse the forests of Fontcouverte and the nearby region, featuring views of Roman ruins and segments of the GR4 long-distance trail. The terrain is predominantly woodland paths, with minimal road running. The various loops allow participants to select between shorter distances or more challenging, hilly routes. Past participant feedback highlights meticulous organisation, helpful volunteers, and well-designed courses that maintain the simple enjoyment of running in the woods.
