The Simorre trail race takes place in Simorre, Gers, southwest France, beginning at 10:00 AM. Participants can select a 12 km course with 250 m elevation gain or a 24 km course with 700 m elevation gain. A children's race is also offered.
The courses navigate the hills surrounding the Gimone and Lauze valleys, favoring country paths and short ascents over flat road speed. A 14th-century fortified church overlooks the village, visible along the routes. Previous race accounts mention wet, slick terrain and humid forest ascents, indicating potential conditions during inclement weather.
