The Boucle des Mineurs is the 14 km race within the Trail de la Mine series, held in St Pierre La Palud in the Rhône. It is a trail race, not a road run, starting at 15:30 with 600 meters of elevation gain over its relatively short distance.
The series also offers 25 km and 8 km races, positioning the 14 km as an intermediate option. It is more than a brief introductory loop but less than a full long-distance event. The race is listed on Kikourou, a community endurance-sports calendar where participants can record race reports, training logs, personal results, videos, and engage in forum discussions.
