Trail de la Cité de Pierres 2027

The Trail de la Cité de Pierres is a trail running event held in La Roque-Sainte-Marguerite, near Millau, within the Aveyron region of Occitanie. It is primarily set within La Cité de Pierres, a rocky area on the Causse Noir, part of the Grands Causses regional park. The event offers races for various ages and skill levels, including 10 km, 16 km, and 31 km trail runs, a 10 km walk, and events for children and juniors. The courses involve significant elevation gain rather than flat running. The 10 km trail and 10 km walk each ascend approximately 500 metres. The 16 km route gains about 800 metres, and the 31 km route climbs around 1,600 metres. A 53 km option, with roughly 2,500 metres of climbing, is also listed. The event emphasizes its natural environment and commitment to ecological responsibility. Its appeal lies not only in the distances but also in the opportunity to run through the unusual stone formations and rugged landscape of the Causse Noir.
