The Trail du Gouessant is a trail running event held in Andel, located in France's Côtes-d'Armor department. The primary races consist of short, technical off-road courses measuring 9 km and 15 km. Additionally, there are two children's races, one covering 600 m and the other 1.5 km. The event is scheduled for April, and the 15 km race marks its first edition.
The courses traverse a landscape of open plains and forest areas, differing from flat road races. The 15 km route involves a 370 m elevation gain, and the 9 km route includes 270 m of climbing, both presenting significant ascents for their distances. The children's races maintain the same family-oriented structure on scaled-down courses, with 10 m of climb over 600 m and 40 m over 1.5 km.
