Trail des bulles - Vouvray 2026

Runners start and finish at Château Moncontour, a hillside château in the heart of the Vouvray wine appellation overlooking the Loire Valley. Trail des Bulles is a two-day trail-running event in Vouvray, with racing beginning on Saturday evening and continuing on Sunday morning. More than 1,200 runners are expected across the programme, which includes a night 8 km race, Sunday distances of 21 km, 15 km and 8 km, an 8 km duo race, and a children’s Trail des Bubulles. The routes mix vineyard paths, forest sections, single track, short urban passages, and the hills above the Loire, so even the shorter races include climbs that bite. The Saturday 8 km can be run solo or as a pair, while the Sunday duo option is reserved for women’s or mixed teams. The event is run by Team Trail Touraine in association with Zoé & Le Tourbillon de la Vie, and the post-race tradition fits Vouvray perfectly: runners can finish with a glass of sparkling wine and appetizers at the château.
