Ceven Trail 2027

Ceven'Trail offers five mountain trail races, plus children's races, in Le Vigan, Gard, Occitanie, bordering the Cévennes National Park. It takes place annually near the end of winter or early spring, when the hills may appear springlike while higher elevations can still be cold. Distances range from a 12 km short trail with 450 m of elevation gain to a 101 km ultra with 4,400 m of gain, catering to both novice trail runners and those seeking an extended mountain challenge. The courses feature marked trails through the Cévennes, situated between the Causses and the Massif de l'Aigoual. They include technical segments, runnable sections, ascents, elevation changes, and scenic viewpoints. The 101 km Ultra du Bout du Cirque begins at night. The 63 km Trail aux Étoiles is the series' longest-standing long-distance event, and the 42 km Marathon de la Toureille combines tracks, paths, and roads. For a mid-distance option with 1,000 m of climbing, the 23 km Trail de l'Oignon Doux is available, while the 12 km Trail du Pays Viganais, though short, is sufficiently steep to qualify as a genuine trail race. The event also maintains permanent marked routes for running enthusiasts outside of race weekend, and its trail school introduces children aged 7 to 15 to trail running in a natural environment.
