Les Gendarmes et les Voleurs de Temps

Les Gendarmes et les Voleurs de Temps centers on a cops-and-robbers theme, reflected in its name and playful race identity. It takes place in Ambazac, Haute-Vienne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, typically in early June. The event focuses on trail and nature running, offering distances from 5 km to 52 km, suitable for short-distance runners, long-course trail runners, walkers, and those seeking a moderate challenge. The races are set within the Limousin and the Monts d'Ambazac, with routes crossing forests, natural paths, lakes, and ponds near Ambazac. One specific trail is 32 km with 950 m of elevation gain, indicating the challenging terrain beyond a simple local run. The event also features races for children and juniors, handisport options, Canitrail and Canicross for participants with dogs, and supports a charitable cause. While described as family-friendly and convivial, the extended trail distances also present a demanding weekend for seasoned runners.
