Trail du Cassoulet 2026

Trail du Cassoulet is a trail-running weekend in Verfeil, Haute-Garonne, Occitanie, incorporating the food culture of southwest France into the race. The main running distances are 12 km, 19 km, and 28 km. The program also includes a 12 km Nordic walk, a 12 km hike, 5 km canicross, 5 km cani-rando, children’s races, and a parent-child relay. It is a nature-trail event, with routes using trails, roads, and countryside paths around the Lauragais area. The race emphasizes its name more than many food-themed events. On the 12 km, 19 km, and 28 km courses, runners receive music, Toulouse sausage, and Fronton wine at a refreshment stop in the Orangerie of the Château de Bonrepos Riquet. The finish line offers draft beer, costumed finishers get a bottle of wine, and the weekend concludes with a cassoulet meal and bandas. There is also a Saturday evening pasta party, an exhibitor village, and free Sunday childcare for children aged 3 to 10, making the event suitable for families as well as runners.
