Trail du perche - Belforêt-en-Perche 2027

Trail du Perche is a Sunday trail race held in the Bellême Forest at Belforêt-en-Perche, in the Orne department of Normandy. This is the race's 17th edition, attracting around 200 runners, positioning it as a local trail event rather than a large-scale race. The primary course covers 17.5 km with 440 m of elevation gain, following the established route from recent years. The forest required repairs following severe weather, leading organizers to secure permission from the ONF and receive technical support from the Belforêt-en-Perche community. The field features returning podium contenders, including past winners Vincent Roquain and Enguerrand Ducrocq. In the women's race, notable participants to watch include Charlotte Foucault, Charlène Deshayes, Jeanne Vallet, Manuela Godais, Hélène Marie, and Sandrine Lebon.
