O wyścigu
Trail du Lac d'Oô is a short mountain trail race held at Lac d'Oô in Oô, Haute-Garonne. The 14 km race begins at 09:30 and climbs 575 meters, presenting a compact Pyrenean trail challenge with significant uphill effort, rather than a flat lakeside run. This event is part of the Midi-Pyrénées trail calendar, typically taking place on a Saturday in June.
The event includes other distances: 7 km, 24 km, and 35 km. The longer routes involve substantial climbs: 1,400 meters for the 24 km and 2,300 meters for the 35 km. The 24 km race is also known as La Larboustoise. A recent count of 433 participants indicates a local trail gathering with a good atmosphere, distinct from a large city marathon. The 14 km entry fee is 10 EUR, reinforcing its character as a direct regional race focused on the lake and its surrounding mountain trails.
