Villenave trail et marche nordique - Villenave-d'Ornon 2027

Villenave Trail is a January weekend of trail running and timed Nordic walking in Villenave-d’Ornon, south of Bordeaux. Races begin at Espace d’Ornon on route de Léognan. The Club Athlétique Villenavais organizes trail runs and three timed Nordic walks, instead of a single main event. The Saturday events center on the Château l’Olivier estate, using an 8 km loop for the 8 km timed Nordic walk and the 16 km night trail. The 16 km can be completed solo or as a two-person relay, with the changeover point at the base vie. Sunday features the primary trail distances: 10 km l’Olivier, 20 km la Cactus, and 27 km la Patxi, along with 10 km and 20 km timed Nordic walks. The course is hilly, with organizers stating 80% to 100% of the routes are natural ground, making it a countryside trail event rather than a road race with some off-road segments.
