Trail des Champignons 2026

Trail des Champignons is a mushroom-themed trail event held in Saint-André-en-Vivarais, a village in Ardèche. Taking place in November, the event focuses on pairs: the two trail races, Le Cèpe and La Girolle, require participants to run as a duo from start to finish. Le Cèpe is the longer race at 39 km with 1,500 m of elevation gain, and La Girolle is 17 km with 650 m of elevation gain. The event also includes options for non-runners. La Chanterelle is a 14 km gourmet hike with 450 m of elevation gain, and Le Petit Champi is a 1 km race for children. Entry is limited to 150 teams for the duo trails and 100 walkers for the hike, keeping the event relatively small. Participants in the trail races must carry mountain-race essentials like a windbreaker, survival blanket, and reusable cup, indicating this is a genuine Ardèche trail event.
