Urban Trail de Vence 2026

Urban Trail de Vence is an 11 km trail race in Vence, Alpes-Maritimes, typically held in December with a 10:00 AM start. It is a short "trail découverte" event, not an ultra, featuring 200 meters of elevation gain. The course combines streets, old-town segments, and natural paths bordering the Préalpes d’Azur. The race offers runners a concise way to explore Vence on foot, passing through its older streets and heritage sites like the Chapelle du Rosaire, designed by Henri Matisse. It attracts a local field of a few hundred participants, and the affordable entry fee positions it as a community trail run rather than a major destination event.
