Trail des cuisses - Écuisses 2026

Trail des Cuisses is a November night trail race held in Écuisses, Saône-et-Loire. It offers two off-road routes instead of a single fixed distance. The 11 km route, featuring 240 m of elevation gain, is suitable for beginners, faster runners, or those seeking an accessible course entirely in nature. The 16 km route, with 380 m of elevation gain, is designed for regular trail runners or fit athletes looking for a more challenging evening run on natural terrain. The shorter race begins before the longer course, allowing the event to unfold throughout the evening rather than starting all participants simultaneously. Organizers note it as one of the final night trail races in the region, marking a late-season event before the winter racing season concludes. The finish emphasizes camaraderie: all participants receive a prize, and the post-race refreshments include a substantial gourmet meal, not merely a simple snack.
