Trail des mémoires - Crouay

The Trail des Mémoires begins and ends in Crouay, a village in Calvados, directing runners onto three routes across the Bessin region of Normandy. Organized by the association Normandie D-Day Trail, the event includes an 11 km race named La Bellée, a 23 km race named La Huebner, and a 5 km solidarity walk or hike accessible to all. The two running courses are short to middle-distance trails, not mountain races. La Bellée features approximately 139 m of elevation gain, and La Huebner has 212 m. Participants must meet age requirements for adult race entry, whereas the walk is more inclusive and allows on-site registration. The event connects local running with D-Day remembrance and charitable giving; proceeds from the walk benefit the association SoeursBayeuxZelles.
