Sur les Traces de David is a March trail and walking event held in Valhuon, a village in Pas-de-Calais, northern France. It focuses on short, accessible distances rather than mountain racing. A 10 km option is available as either Nordic walking or trail running, and a 20 km distance is offered for both walking and trail running. Organizers note that late March weather in Hauts-de-France can be cold, suggesting that an extra layer might be as important as fast shoes.
The routes traverse a rural setting with open terrain, moderate elevation changes, no significant climbs, and numerous paved paths. The event was established in memory of David, a running enthusiast from the Bruay-la-Bruissière athletics club who passed away while returning from the Trail D2B de Touquet. The event's atmosphere is intentionally inclusive, welcoming children, adults, families, friends, beginners, walkers, and experienced runners to share a day dedicated to his passion for running, his cheerful disposition, and his zest for life.
