Trail du soleil Levens 2026

The Trail du Soleil Levens begins in the village of Levens, situated at the base of Mont Férion in the Alpes-Maritimes, overlooking Nice. This yearly trail-running event takes place in late November, offering a range of distances from short local runs to challenging mountain races: 6.3 km, 9.5 km, 16 km, 30 km, and 60 km. Established in 2015, the race caters to a variety of skill levels, not just a single type of runner. The routes traverse the hinterland of Nice, utilizing the mountains, valleys, forests, and elevation surrounding Levens in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The 30 km race is a UTMB Index 50K event, covering approximately 30.8 km with 1,927 meters of elevation gain, presenting a significant challenge before the even longer option. Some of the distances are given distinctive names, such as Loutre for 6.3 km, Rando for 9.5 km, Dragon for about 15 km, and Ours for the nearly 30 km course. The event's slogan cleverly references the race name: “Va courir dès le Soleil Levens !”
