The Trail du Ségala begins at the municipal stadium in Valderiès, Tarn, offering runners short, medium, and long trail routes through the surrounding countryside. The primary distances are 28.5 km with 853 m elevation gain, 16 km with 471 m gain, and 8 km with 112 m gain. This variety accommodates both experienced trail runners and those seeking a shorter challenge. A 12 km hike and a non-timed Nordic walk are also available for participants.
The courses traverse the diverse terrain near Valderiès, including open hills, forest paths, a footbridge, stream crossings, small bridges, and a rocky ascent. The organizer, Trail du Ségala, emphasizes maintaining the “trail spirit,” promoting respect for nature and all participants. Age categories range from cadet to V5, contributing to a broad, local-club atmosphere rather than a strictly elite focus.
