Trail solidaire de Virine - Bouxières-aux-Bois 2026

The Trail solidaire de Virine is a small trail-running event in Bouxières-aux-Bois, located in the Vosges area of France’s Grand Est region. Participants can select between 10 km and 16 km routes, and an 8 km solidarity walk is available for those seeking a less strenuous activity. The event takes place in October and operates as a semi-autonomous nature race, requiring participants to manage a portion of their own effort and supplies during the course. The routes traverse forests and wooded paths surrounding Bouxières-aux-Bois, with ES Thaon Athlétisme organizing the event in conjunction with the commune and neighboring villages. The race emphasizes solidarity alongside competition, intending to link physical exertion with a local cause. It is designed for motivated runners, not exclusively specialists, and recent editions have updated the courses to offer returning participants novel experiences.
