Trail du Pic des 3 Seigneurs 2026

The Trail du Pic des 3 Seigneurs begins and ends at the Parc de la Préhistoire in Tarascon-sur-Ariège, located in the French Pyrenees. Held in early July, this mountain trail series offers three primary distances: 11 km, 24 km, and 42 km. The Marathon du Pic des Trois Seigneurs, the longest event, attracts the most participants and features 3,150 metres of elevation gain within a single loop. The 24 km Trail de l’Etang d’Artax is also challenging, with 1,600 metres of elevation gain. The courses are situated within the Parc Naturel Régional des Pyrénées Ariégeoises, presenting high-country trail running rather than road-style racing on dirt paths. Participants run individually and in semi-autonomy. Most courses have no time limit, contributing to the event's practical mountain atmosphere instead of a rigid, time-focused competition. The trails are technical and demanding. The event also includes a 7 km hike and a Canicross option for those not running.
