About this race
Trail de Vauclaire takes place in Montpon-Ménestérol, within the Dordogne department of southwest France. Held in June, it offers off-road options of approximately 5 km and 10 km, alongside a longer route recently listed as a 20 km course or a 23 km race. The shorter distances are concise: the 5 km route includes about 80 m of elevation gain, and the 10 km route has about 130 m.
The primary appeal is the course: it follows wooded trails and local paths, avoiding town streets. Some listings also indicate 8 km and 11 km distances, so participants should verify the current event page when selecting a race. The Club Omnisports Centre Hospitalier Vauclaire organizes the event, providing aid stations and changing facilities. Previous runs were in March; the shift to June provides a different seasonal character within the familiar forested environment.
