Trail de la Vallée Baumoise

Trail de la Vallée Baumoise is a summer trail-running event in Baume-les-Dames, in the Doubs department of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France. Organized by Team Spirit Sport, it offers runners several hilly nature races instead of a single distance. Options include 8 km routes with 300 m of climbing, a 14 km route with 450 m, a 24 km route with 750 m, and a 34 km route with 1,000 m. Other listings show 10 km, 14 km, 22 km, and 38 km formats, with the 22 km available as a duo and the 38 km carrying 1,193 m of elevation gain. Children have their own races over 500 m, 700 m, 1 km, and 2 km. The course names, such as Fast and Furious, Short and Hard, No pain, No gain, and Up and down, indicate that the climbs are a key feature. The event begins in Baume-les-Dames and utilizes the surrounding valley terrain. Bib pickup occurs early, adult races start in the morning, and children's races follow later. A recent edition attracted 1,200 participants and involved 120 volunteers, showing it is a local race with significant participation. The event also incorporates the town setting, with a festive atmosphere in Baume-les-Dames and local food served after the races.
