Trail des Costes is a late-April trail race held in Vernègues, located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France, near Marseille. Participants can select either a 10 km discovery trail or a more challenging 30 km route, catering to both novice trail runners and those seeking a longer, mountain-style challenge.
The 30 km race involves approximately 1,000 metres of climbing and descending, while the 10 km option features about 250 metres of elevation change. The event also includes a barbecue, live music, and a raffle, contributing to a local village-race atmosphere rather than a straightforward race from start to finish.
