Trail des mingeux de maguettes - Givenchy-en-Gohelle 2026

Trail des Mingeux de Maguettes is a late-November trail running event in Givenchy-en-Gohelle, in Pas-de-Calais. It is built as a village race day rather than one single distance, with children’s runs of 200 meters, 1 km and 3 km, plus adult trail options around 9.5 km, 17 km and 24 km. The shorter races are tied to youth categories, while the longer trails are open from cadet or junior categories through veterans. The route uses hilly ground near the crests of Pinchonvalle, so it is more of a proper off-road outing than a flat road race. Rain can turn the paths very muddy, which seems to be part of the appeal for runners who normally stick to pavement. Triathlon Club Liévin is involved in organizing the event, and the race draws club runners, families, volunteers and supporters, with photo albums shared afterward as part of the local tradition.
