Val Durance Trail 2027

The Val Durance Trail begins at Place Joseph Fauchier in Peyruis, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, directing runners to hilly natural trails in mid-April. The race offers a 10 km route with 400 m of elevation gain, a 22 km route with 1,000 m, and a 42 km route with 1,800 m. This variety suits both novice trail runners and those seeking a full mountain experience. A 10 km walk shares the 400 m profile, alongside children's races. The named routes indicate their scale: Pierre plantée is the shortest run and walk, Tourdeaux is the mid-distance option, and Les Balcons de la Durance is the longest race. Though new, the event's second edition attracted 270 participants following course updates, a 65 percent increase from its debut. Local media already consider it an emerging Alpine trail classic. The field is diverse, accommodating long-distance trail runners, short-course participants, walkers, and families with children.
