Trail des Elfes & Druides guides runners along forest paths near Pfaffenheim, in Alsace's Haut-Rhin region. This is a themed trail race offering two distances: the 10 km Trail des Elfes and the 20 km Trail des Druides. The event embraces its elves-and-druids theme, presenting itself as a blend of woodland run and lighthearted fantasy, with the straightforward caution that the "mystical trail" can result in genuinely tired legs.
The course is simply described as magical forest trails, distinct from city streets or road races. After completing the race, participants are directed to nearby Alsace attractions: Colmar, known for its half-timbered houses and canals; the Alsace Wine Route, featuring villages, vineyards, and wine tastings; and the Parc des Cigognes in Hunawihr, a family-friendly destination to observe one of the region's symbolic animals.
