Trail des Coteaux is a semi-nocturnal trail race in Montbard, beginning at 5:30 PM as daylight diminishes. The primary race covers 10.3 km with over 190 m of elevation gain. A hiking option is also available for those seeking a local outing without the competitive aspect.
The course is characterized as semi-urban, featuring terrain along the town's edge and climbs up the coteaux, rather than a deep-woods mountain path. Participants must be at least 15 years old. Required gear includes appropriate footwear, a headlamp or chest lamp, water, a charged mobile phone, and rain gear for inclement weather.
