PoyauTrail is a nature run held in Toucy, Yonne, with its race hub at the Pyramide du Loup. Participants can choose between a 10 km trail and a 19 km trail, catering to runners seeking a short, muddy run or a longer challenge closer to 20 km. The elevation gain is listed as moderate, approximately 200 m for the 10 km and 270 to 280 m for the 19 km, though the race organizers caution that the terrain itself can present a significant challenge.
The course winds through forest paths and dirt tracks across the wooded, rolling terrain of Puisaye. When conditions are wet, the ground can become slick, unsteady, and difficult, making balance as crucial as speed. The event typically also features a 10 km hike, a Nordic walking option if sufficient participants register, and children's races over short distances, shaping it into a community trail morning rather than a singular race event.
