Trail des 8 Clochers de Haute-Loire

The Trail des 8 Clochers de Haute-Loire is a trail running series held in Grez-Doiceau, Wallonia, Belgium. The event takes place in October, with average temperatures ranging from 6°C to 14°C. Participants can expect around 40 mm of rain and frequent cloudy days, although crisp, sunny weather is also possible. Runners have a choice of 11 km, 26 km, or 78 km races, in addition to an 11 km walk. The main event is Le tour du Haut Velay, a 78 km trail that is the most popular choice. The 26 km race is La boucle de la Dunières, and the 11 km trail is La ronde des babets. The organizer states the routes are “95% nature, 5% road,” indicating a predominantly off-road experience. The program also features handisport entries, children’s and junior courses, and non-timed categories.
