Tips & Advice

  • Pack a headlamp for the trail run or walk, as it tops the organisers' list of things runners must not forget.
  • Carry your own cup, because you will need one at the refreshment stop on the course.
  • Come in a Christmas costume, since fancy dress is part of the race and the organisers ask everyone to bring one.
  • Arrive early to collect your bib at the Pôle d'animation, as pickup opens well before the races and walk set off.
  • Stay on after the results for the meal and festive evening, which carries on through the night and has a reduced children's rate.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Christmas meal and festive evening after the results, priced separately with a children's rate.
