Trails de l'Estivale 2026

Trails de l'Estivale is a small trail-running event in Saint-Hilaire-la-Croix, Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. It is linked to the Estivale du Lac Roy village festival, meaning runners participate on a day that also features all-day entertainment, food and drink vendors, and evening concerts. The schedule includes two timed trail races and one untimed walk. The longer race covers 19.3 km with 540 m of elevation gain, and the shorter trail is 8.6 km with 190 m of gain. The walk follows a similar elevation profile to the short race, with an 8.2 km route and 190 m of ascent. The 19.3 km race is for adults; the 8.6 km race is for ages 16 and up; and the walk costs a small fee for adults and is free for children under 12. This is the first edition, organized by the Foyer Rural de St-Hilaire-La-Croix and Les Comb'Traileurs, giving it the feel of a new local festival race rather than an established event.
