Trail des roches de ham 2026

The Trail des Roches de Ham is a trail-running series held at the Roches de Ham in Brectouville, near Condé-sur-Vire in the Manche department of Normandy. The Club d’Athlétisme de Condé-Torigni organizes four events, including Nordic walking. Race distances range from an accessible 12 km to a challenging 37 km for experienced runners. The routes follow narrow, winding paths bordered by the hedgerows of the bocage normand, then traverse woods, fields, and viewpoints overlooking the Vire valley. The race crosses the Roches de Ham, the oldest protected natural site in Manche, with its rock ridge reaching 105 meters. Laurent Frémond co-created the event with Arnaud Cordier when trail races were scarce in the region. Most participants now come from Manche, with steady growth in entries and organizers targeting approximately 1,000 participants.
