About this race
The Trail Hivernal du Haut Cantal begins in Condat, a village within the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park. This winter trail-running event features three loop races: 10 km, 25 km, and 40 km, alongside a hike accessible to non-runners. The courses ascend from the village onto the Artens and Cézallier plateaus, situated between the Sancy, Cézallier, and Monts du Cantal mountain ranges.
The 40 km race includes approximately 1,500 metres of elevation gain, indicating a challenging course. In clear conditions, participants will view snow-capped mountains of Cantal, Sancy, and Cézallier while crossing the plateaus. The competition attracts a diverse field, with junior and veteran categories in some races, while other events are unranked. Support includes aid stations, a medical team, and a doctor. Post-race amenities feature runner gifts, a regional Auvergnat meal, and an 80s disco party.
