Le trail de la voie romaine - Pierre-Buffière
Le Trail de la Voie Romaine is a trail-running event held in Pierre-Buffière, Haute-Vienne, within France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It offers routes ranging from 9km to 42km, taking place in October. The event is designed for off-road runners, featuring four race distances and a 12km nature hike.
The courses traverse the Limousin countryside near Pierre-Buffière, incorporating viewpoints, climbs, and descents instead of a flat, fast track. The primary event is the 42km Marathon Axter 87 TP, complemented by 26km, 16km, and 9km options. The 26km and 42km races are qualifiers for the UTMB Index. AGPB organizes the event, with volunteers providing support to participants on the course and at the finish line.
Briv'Ékiden
Briv'Ékiden is a road relay held in mid-October in Brive-la-Gaillarde, Corrèze, Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It follows the Ekiden format, where a team collectively covers the marathon distance, rather than a single runner completing the full 42.195 km. Marketed as the Ekiden de l'Agglo de Brive, the event is designed for runners of all abilities seeking a team challenge over a solo marathon.
The course consists of a single 42.195 km loop with minimal elevation gain, approximately 20 metres, making it nearly flat. Participants describe it as a nature-focused road race centered on teamwork and camaraderie, a "shared marathon." The location also encourages exploration of nearby Corrèze and Nouvelle-Aquitaine attractions post-race, such as Rocamadour, Lascaux, Collonges-la-Rouge, and Lac du Causse.
Marathon Trail Périgord - Pays de Belvès
The Marathon Trail Périgord - Pays de Belvès is a 42 km trail marathon in the Périgord Noir region of Dordogne, France, running from Domme to Belvès. It takes place in autumn and offers the same full-distance route for solo runners, pairs, and four-person relay teams. The field is limited to approximately 1,500 runners, providing the feel of a substantial regional race without the scale of a major city marathon. The Team Event and CA Belvès organize the race, with a shuttle service provided to assist runners with the point-to-point course.
The route connects several of the area’s well-known villages and castle sites: Domme, Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, Beynac-et-Cazenac, Château des Milandes, and Belvès. The course is divided into four legs: 9 km from Domme to Castelnaud, 10 km to Beynac, 9.5 km to Les Milandes, and a challenging final 15 km into Belvès featuring the day's most significant climb. Total elevation gain is distributed across all four stages, with the final section alone accounting for 440 metres. The marathon is associated with the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France network, allowing villages to field official teams for a distinct trophy.
Marathon Trail des Forts du Périgord
The Marathon Trail des Forts du Périgord begins near the Cro-Magnon cliffs in Les Eyzies, a village in Dordogne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. This trail marathon takes place in March, featuring a main 42 km distance available for solo runners or relay teams of two or four. Organizers term it a “maratrail” for its marathon distance on trails, distinct from road marathons. Early spring conditions, including cold temperatures and rain, are anticipated challenges.
The course guides participants through characteristic Périgord villages, woodlands, cliffs, and chateaux, crossing areas rich in local history. Les Eyzies, known for prehistoric finds, provides a setting where Cro-Magnon history is integral to the landscape. A 15 km walking or hiking option is also available, broadening the event's appeal. The participants typically include solo trail runners, relay teams covering the full distance, and walkers opting for a shorter route in the same region.
Semi-marathon de Tulle
The Semi-Marathon de Tulle is a road race held in Tulle, Corrèze, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, typically around mid-March. It features two distances: a 5 km run and a half marathon of 21.0975 km, allowing both beginners and experienced runners to select distinct challenges on the same day.
The race begins and concludes in the city, utilizing the stadium vicinity and Tulle’s streets. Known as the capital of the accordion, Tulle also offers sights such as Notre-Dame de Tulle cathedral or the old city centre. The event fosters a welcoming local atmosphere, with organized support, spectators along the route, and choices for participants seeking either a brief city run or a complete half-marathon endeavor.
Marathon trail des forts du Périgord - Les Eyzies
The Marathon Trail des Forts du Périgord begins near the Cro-Magnon cliffs in Les Eyzies, a Dordogne village known as the world capital of prehistory. This March trail marathon in Nouvelle-Aquitaine features a single 42 km loop with 1,330 meters of elevation gain. Participants can complete the distance individually or as a relay team of two or four.
The course varies annually to showcase different aspects of the Périgord region. It crosses local villages, forest trails, cliffs, chateaux, historic homes, and hidden bories, which are small stone shelters characteristic of the area. The route includes Château Marzac, the Commarque forest, and the ruins of Château de Commarque. Les Eyzies provides a distinct prehistoric context, with the National Museum of Prehistory located in town and significant archaeological sites nearby. The last edition attracted over 800 runners, and finishers receive a plate of local Périgourdine specialties instead of a medal and water.
Semi-marathon de l'ASPTT Grand Périgueux
The Semi-marathon de l'ASPTT Grand Périgueux is a road running event held in Périgueux, located in the Dordogne department of southwest France. It typically takes place in April, though the specific date requires confirmation. The primary event is a 21.1 km half marathon that begins in the morning.
The half marathon follows a mostly flat course, featuring approximately 35 meters of elevation gain. Consequently, the challenge lies more in maintaining a consistent pace than in tackling significant climbs. The ASPTT Grand Périgueux is the organizing body. Participants seeking a shorter distance can opt for the 10 km race, which commences shortly after the half marathon begins.
Trail à la noix - Salignac-Eyvigues
Trail à la Noix is a trail running event held in Salignac-Eyvigues, located in France’s Dordogne region, and is listed on the April running calendar. The event features three morning races: a 42 km trail with 1,200 m of elevation gain, a 22 km trail with 600 m of elevation gain, and a 10 km discovery trail with 400 m of elevation gain.
The organizer also categorizes the routes by "effort" distance, providing a clearer sense of the climbs. The 42 km route is equivalent to 54 km of effort, the 22 km route to 28 km, and the 10 km route to 14 km. This approach accommodates various runners on the same day, from those testing their limits on a compact yet steep course to participants seeking a longer run in the Dordogne.

About Marathon races in Brive-la-Gaillarde
Brive Training Notes
Brive-la-Gaillarde hosts 11 Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Brive like a trail town with city legs. Lac du Causse gives runners 15 marked circuits, with 2 green, 9 blue, 2 red, and 2 black options. Gorges de la Vézère gives runners 8 more circuits, with 1 green, 2 blue, 3 red, and 2 black routes. Local runners use Trail des Coteaux in Voutezac, Trail urbain à Larche, TRAMACA at Lissac, and Trail de la Paix as steady anchors. Courir à Brive and La ruée des Bisons keep the city-centre legs honest.
Locals ride from easy spins to punchy days without making a fuss about it. The Voie verte Corrèze links Aubazine station to St-Pantaléon de Larche via Brive. The Green Way runs along the Corrèze River for 17 km and crosses the city centre. Club Vélo Gaillard runs the serious club scene with weekly rides, weekend outings, discovery rides, and three steady groups. Brive-Rocamadour is the big anchor event, with more than 1500 riders and walkers across VTT, gravel, road, walking, and trail. The climbs sit around Lac du Causse when locals take to the heights above the lake.
April gives runners Trail des Coteaux, and May brings Trail urbain à Larche plus TRAMACA at Lissac. June gives locals Foulées Saint-Viançoises and Donzenac The Dark Night, while early July brings Trail de Saint-Aulaire. October keeps the trail calendar alive with Trail de la Paix in Lissac. Summer in Brive runs warm, so locals keep Z2 honest and save intervals for cooler hours. Winter keeps the no-dry-season mindset in play, and runners choose mud, sand, or meadows when stony paths feel too much.
