AMBERTRAIL | Sunday 31 May 2026 | Trail - hikes in Auvergne

AMBERTRAIL is a one-day trail festival centred on Plan d’eau d’Ambert (La Prairie) with multiple race distances, youth formats and randonnée options on Sunday 31 May 2026. The event (presented on the organiser site as AMBERTRAIL) combines short and medium trail courses, a challenging 41 km route with a relay option, and a dedicated children’s cross (Le Piot Cross). Several courses are noted as UTMB Index races, and the organiser provides coordinated transport between Ambert and Marsac‑en‑Livradois for starts away from the finish area.

The day offers practical participant services including bib collection, staffed aid stations, a secure bag drop and finish‑line refreshments with a local Auvergnat meal option available by pre‑order. Showers and changing facilities are available in Ambert and a free Agrivap train shuttle transfers runners to the Marsac start points. Safety and licence rules are published by the organiser, including PPS/licence options for timed participation and cut‑off information for the longer course.
