The Trail des bords de Vire begins and ends in Pont-Hébert, located on the towpath alongside the Vire river, north of Saint-Lô in Manche. This spring trail-running event features three timed races: a 27 km course with 400 m elevation gain, a 13 km course with 250 m elevation gain, and a free 1.5 km children’s race.
The longer races offer adult participants a choice between a substantial half-day trail effort or a shorter local competition. The children’s run ensures the event is suitable for families. The Association Trail des bords de Vire organizes the race. Bib pickup occurs in the village. Awards are presented by category. Adult runners have access to refreshment points, and the finish area provides practical amenities including galettes, sausages, fries, and a drinks stand.
