Trail du Maquis du Vercors 2026

The Trail du Maquis du Vercors is a mountain trail-running event held in Bouvante-le-Haut, in the Drôme department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. It takes place in early October within the Vercors Regional Natural Park, offering race distances from 10 km to 55 km. The shortest race, La petite nuit des maquisards, is a 10 km night run. The longest option, Trail LE GRAND TOUR DES M, covers 55 km with approximately 2,300 meters of elevation gain. The event's name references the Maquisards and the wartime history of the Vercors, linking its mountain paths to a local resistance narrative instead of presenting the route as a standard trail course.
