L'effort des forts du fort - Manonviller 2027

At L’Effort des Forts du Fort in Manonviller, the main trail race does not have a fixed distance: adults have four hours to complete a 7 km loop as many times as they wish, running with headlamps after an evening start. The afternoon program includes a 4 km run, 12 km bike, and 1.8 km run Cross Duathlon S, followed by an 11 km Nordic walk or hike. The event also offers races for young runners, from a 400 m U10 race to youth trail distances of 1.8 km, 3.6 km, 5.4 km, and 7 km. The main loop gains 110 m elevation each lap, making the adult race a test of pacing, night running, and knowing when to stop within the time limit. U20 runners may complete up to three loops for a maximum of 21 km. The Ultra Forts Challenge combines results from the cross duathlon and the U20 trail. Entrants in the Ultra Forts receive a pasta meal between the afternoon events and the evening trail, a practical tradition for participants competing in multiple disciplines. Les Ducs de Lunéville organize the event, which is in its second edition.
