La vauxoise - Vaux-en-Bugey 2027

La Vauxoise starts runners on the Bugey trails from Vaux-en-Bugey, a village in Ain in France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The race is typically held in mid-April and is a nature trail event, labeled as mountain and urban-trail depending on the listing. Runners can select an 11 km route designed to be accessible and fast, or a 21 km route for trail runners seeking a more challenging day. The short course involves approximately 400 m of climbing, while the long course ascends about 800 m over roughly 21 km. This setup emphasizes managing ascents, descents, and Bugey footpaths over achieving a fast flat road time. The event also features canitrail and canicross, allowing some participants to race with a dog. Local club runners participate; one account mentioned three Courir Nature athletes competing in the two distances, with Basilia winning her category on the 11 km course.
