Trail nocturne de Noël is a Christmas night trail race in Valence, in the Drôme department of southeastern France. The event centers on an 8.4 km “Trail découverte,” a beginner-friendly trail format, with 80 meters of climbing and an 8:00 p.m. start on a Saturday evening in December.
The course is short and lightly hilly, so it suits runners who want a winter trail outing without committing to a long mountain race. Valence triathlon organizes the event, the entry fee is listed at €10, and the race drew 1,894 registered participants in its latest reported edition.
