ChalmaTrail 2026

ChalmaTrail (ChalmaTrail 2026) is a mountain trail event centred on Chalmazel-Jeansagnière in the Monts du Forez, offering routed trails through upland ridges and forested sections with panoramic views. The event is presented as a volunteer-run, convivial experience and is promoted as 100% nature, with courses that suit both newcomers and experienced trail runners. Organisers note that each race is indexed for the UTMB Index and ITRA, and the 2026 programme introduces an 80 km ultra-trail as a major new challenge for long-distance runners.

Races span multiple distances to provide options for varied abilities, and the courses include significant elevation changes and mountain-style terrain where time cut-offs apply. Practical details such as registration opening dates, start-times and full logistical information are published on the official event website and social channels; competitors are encouraged to consult those pages for entries and mandatory equipment lists. The event emphasizes local atmosphere, sustainable practices on the trails and a strong community of volunteers managing aid stations and race operations.
