Festival Trail Du Coeur Des Landes - Pontonx Sur L'adour 2027

Festival Trail du Cœur des Landes is a trail-running event in Pontonx-sur-l'Adour, Landes, set within pine forests, sandy tracks, and natural paths. The event offers a 12 km hike and a 12 km short trail, a 21 km trail half marathon, a women's 42 km relay, and a 60 km long trail, plus children's races for ages 11 to 15. Previous years have seen over 700 participants, and each race format has a participant limit. The courses feature forest roads, narrow technical trails, and more open sections near Pontonx. The challenge lies not in significant elevation gain, but in varied surfaces, pace, and effort management. The 12 km hike includes food stops, fostering a social atmosphere, while the village brings together runners, volunteers, spectators, and activities throughout the day. Two recent additions expand the event's scope: a 60 km race for endurance athletes and a women-only marathon relay with a 50-team cap.
