Trail du printemps 2027

Trail du Printemps is a spring trail event in Saint-Pierre-d'Albigny, a town in France's Savoie department, at the foot of the Alps. Held in March, it offers five participation options: running races, Nordic walking, regular walking, and non-timed nature walks. Distances range from 10 km to 25 km, suitable for both walkers and runners seeking a longer run on local trails. The main race choices are 12 km and 25 km courses, with over 700 participants starting on these two routes. The event was formerly known as Trail des Rois, or Kings' Trail, because of its original timing around Epiphany. Organizer Philippe Delachenal noted that the shift to March aligns it with the start of spring while retaining participant engagement. Recent events have seen participants navigate wet Saint-Pierre-d'Albigny paths in unpredictable weather, with rain becoming a characteristic of race day rather than a deterrent.
