Trail Et Marche Des Violettes - Louviers 2027

The Trail et Marche des Violettes begins at Stade Maxime Marchand in Louviers, France. It offers trail races of 12 km, 25 km, and 42 km, alongside 12 km walking options that include Nordic walking. This event takes place in late March, organized by Étoile Athlétique Lovérienne, and welcomes both runners and walkers, not exclusively seasoned trail runners. The courses primarily traverse natural and forest landscapes, with elevation gains corresponding to the distances: 230 m for the 12 km, 600 m for the 25 km, and 1000 m for the 42 km. The 42 km race operates under semi-autonomy, requiring participants to carry some of their own provisions. Entry limits are in place for all formats, with larger capacities for the 12 km and 25 km trail races and stricter caps for the walking events and the marathon-distance trail. Now in its 10th edition, the race maintains a familiar local atmosphere without becoming an overly large event.
