The Trail du Bouton d'Or begins at the Plateau Sportif in Ahuy, Côte-d'Or, taking place in October on the plateaus surrounding Ahuy and Hauteville. Adult participants can select a 10 km or 23 km distance, while children have races of 1 km and 3 km. The course features trail running over paths through woods, combes, and farmland, including short, impactful climbs.
The route incorporates a section of the Bouton d'Or trail, a approximately 100 km path in the region. The name translates to buttercup, although these flowers are not present in October; the same paths are abundant with them in spring. The youth races and the 10 km event contribute to the Challenge de l'étoile, and the 10 km also counts towards the Challenge trail, attracting local competitors aiming for series points and runners seeking a concise countryside race.
