Trail du Saint Jacques - 55 km 2026

The Trail du Saint Jacques - 55 km is a trail race following the historic route to Santiago de Compostela, specifically the Le Puy-en-Velay to Saugues section. This event, part of the Trail du Saint-Jacques by UTMB, has been held annually since 2012. The 55 km course, known as Monistrail, is a demanding mountain run with 2,100 meters of elevation gain and an early start. The race begins in Monistrol d'Allier, crossing a remote section of the Saint James Way. Participants will run through an area rich in pilgrim history and challenging trail conditions. While the event acknowledges the cultural and spiritual significance of the journey, the primary objective is to complete 55 km of natural landscape within an 11-hour-30-minute time limit.
