Les Peluches en Duo 2026

Les Peluches en Duo is a pairs trail race in Espeluche, a village in the Drôme department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France. It takes place in early October and features two forest routes: a 9.6 km Duo des Peluches and an 18.2 km Duo Trail. The event is run at departmental level, making it more of a local race day for runners seeking hills, woods, and a partner, rather than a large-scale urban event. The longer Duo Trail begins first, a team time trial covering 18.2 km with approximately 500 m of elevation gain. The shorter Duo des Peluches follows over 9.6 km with about 250 m of climbing, and it is designated as a non-official race. Endurance26 organizes the event, with results published for both formats. The race motto, “Together we go further,” directly reflects the duo format.
