Trail Solidaire des Belles Gambettes 2027

The Trail Solidaire des Belles Gambettes is a late-April trail event held in Gémenos, located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France. The event supports a charitable cause and offers various running and walking options, not just a single race. Participants can choose from an 8 km trail run, an 8 km walk, a 13 km trail run, a 20 km trail run, and a low-cost solidarity race. The name, which translates to 'Solidarity Run of the Beautiful Legs,' reflects the event's nature; organizers state it will challenge participants' legs, a claim supported by the elevation profiles. The routes traverse Provençal trails near Gémenos. The shortest trail still involves a climb of approximately 320 meters. The 13 km race ascends around 700 meters, and the 20 km option presents the most challenge with about 1,350 meters of positive elevation gain. The walking option provides a less strenuous experience, while the longer races cater to runners seeking steep, local trail running. Entry fees are reasonable and increase with distance. A separate solidarity race maintains a clear focus on the charitable aspect.
