La Poursuite au Darou - 26 km 2026

La Poursuite au Darou is a trail race in Saulcy-sur-Meurthe in the Vosges, near Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, part of the spring edition of Les Trails du Darou. The race is listed as a 26 km format, but the organizer’s course notes describe the long option as 28 km with 1,500 m of climbing. Runners should expect a steep mountain-style outing, not a flat road race. The event includes several short, punchy formats. La Mort Subite is a 7 km loop with 375 m of climbing and strict time barriers on repeated laps; runners missing cutoffs are eliminated, with the winner decided by the first finisher on the final loop. La Bonne Vivante is an 8.7 km “Eat, Run & Beer” course with four food stops. A shorter 6 km option, a gourmet walk, canitrail, hiking, trekking, and festive activities are also available.
