Altkirch Trails

Altkirch Trails (Trails D’altkirch) is a day of urban and town-centre trail running held in Altkirch in the Haut-Rhin. The event brings together short and mid-distance trail formats run through the streets and landmarks of the town, combining stairs, slopes, pavements, grass and off-road sections to create a mixed-surface urban trail experience. The setting is notable for its proximity to Switzerland and Germany, offering scenic cross-border views and a compact course that showcases Altkirch from a runner’s perspective.

The meeting typically takes place in early September and features multiple formats for adults and children, from a walking route and children’s races to the main urban trail and a shorter Altkirchoise course. The Ville d'Altkirch organises the event and publishes details on its local trails page; registration and exact start lists/times are normally announced closer to the date. Participants should check the organiser pages for the confirmed schedule, as distances and start times have varied across listings.
