Trail de l'Epine 2026

Trail de l'Epine is a late-June trail race held in La Motte-Servolex, Savoie, France. The running takes place on the Chaine de l'Epine, offering four adult distances: 16 km, 25 km, 40 km, and 53 km. The shortest option involves a 660-metre climb, and the 53 km EchardeTrail reaches 3,200 metres, indicating mountain trail running rather than a flat jog. The course names are themed around thorns: RonceTrail for 16 km, EpineTrail for 25 km, AiguilleTrail for 40 km, and EchardeTrail for 53 km. The routes are described as nature and forest trails, and the event also features children's and junior races. Its slogan references the local name: "A trail that will take the thorn out of your foot!"
