At Petit Port in Annecy, the Trail Running Festival begins at 09:00, functioning more as a try-it-yourself trail day than a conventional race. Participants can test new shoes, gear, and nutrition from the brand village, with dedicated road and trail testing routes on site. The schedule also features conference talks, social runs for all levels, autograph sessions, and runs guided by recognized athletes. The most competitive race-style event is a 1.5 km loop run at maximum speed. The festival also includes an endurance challenge measuring how long participants can run throughout the day. An additional challenge involves solo runners or pairs navigating the stands to test a variety of products. The attendees are distinctly trail-focused: with muddy shoes, hydration packs, cautious steps, and individuals seeking their next race shoes. Food and beverages are available, including Nutella crepes from Miles Republic, creating an atmosphere akin to a finish-line aid station extended for the entire day.
