The Trail du Roc des Mates is a 15 km trail race held in Lauret, a village in the Hérault department of Occitanie, southern France. Scheduled for April, the precise date is pending confirmation. The primary race involves a 500-meter ascent, characterizing it as a short, steep course rather than a level road race.
The route is designed as a test for runners of various abilities, with the elevation gain constituting the main difficulty over its limited length. Participants must carry essential safety gear, indicating a genuine trail race format as opposed to a relaxed, informal event.
