The Trail Urbain d'Orange begins at the ancient theatre in Orange, with runners lining up beside a Roman landmark before entering an urban trail race. The start is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on a Sunday, and the field is limited to 800 participants.
The race, in its sixth edition, already sees demand exceeding the entry limit, with all 800 bibs selling out quickly. Team Orange organizes the event, and organizer Patrice Dupont manages a consistent need for volunteers for race services and security, including engaging a paid association to supplement staffing.
