What is trail running?

Trail running is a form of running practised in natural environments. It takes place on unpaved paths such as forests, mountains, rural tracks or limestone terrain. This discipline combines endurance, technical skill and total immersion in nature.

Unlike road running, trail running includes elevation gain, sustained climbs and technical descents. The terrain varies from rocks and roots to mud and narrow passages. Trail runners constantly adapt their stride and effort.

Distances range from a few kilometres to ultra trail races exceeding 100 km. Proper equipment is essential, including suitable shoes, hydration management and safety gear.

In the Luberon and the Monts de Vaucluse, trail running offers an intense experience. Open views over the Durance Valley, limestone massifs, ochre landscapes and wooded ridges create an exceptional playground.
