Challenge christian risso - trail de peille 2026

The Challenge Christian Risso - Trail de Peille is a short trail event held in Peille, a village in the Alpes-Maritimes located in the hills above Nice. Taking place in June, it provides shorter mountain distances instead of an all-day ultra. The available trail options range from approximately 6 to 14 km, with one listing specifying a 12 km race featuring around 600 m of elevation gain. The course is designed for runners and walkers seeking a challenging yet accessible outing on inland Riviera terrain. A 5.5 km walking route is available for those not participating in the races, while the trail runs are suited for individuals prepared for steep local paths. The event is open to firefighters, PATS staff, Force06, gendarmes, and SAMU. The initial edition was described as being entirely free.
