Chouffe Trail

The Chouffe Trail (La Chouffe Trail) is a two‑day trail running festival held in the Ardennes around Houffalize and Achouffe, Belgium, with a broad choice of distances for weekend runners. The event combines long daytime trails, shorter Sunday races and nocturnal night‑trails, and the organiser highlights UTMB Index and ITRA course certification for many distances. The weekend also offers a cumulative CHOUFFE TRAIL CHALLENGE (combined ranking across several races) and a convivial finish‑area tradition that includes a complimentary La Chouffe beer at the finish.

The official event page directs competitors to online registration (Passion For Sports / SQM Time) and provides GPX traces, mandatory kit lists and detailed start‑wave information closer to the race. Routes traverse forested valleys and hills between Houffalize and Achouffe, and the programme emphasises on‑course aid stations, medical support and timed cut‑offs for longer distances. Runners should consult the organiser’s athlete information for final start times, mandatory equipment and the pre‑race briefing.
