La Traversée des Dentelles

La Traversée des Dentelles is a long‑running trail festival held in Gigondas at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. The event (38ème édition) brings together multiple distance options across a weekend, from short introductory routes to a full marathon, and includes family and children’s activities. The race weekend highlights technical singletrack, crêtes and vineyard vistas that characterise this protected Provençal massif and aims to welcome both newcomers and experienced trail runners.

The organiser, Traversée des Dentelles Organisation, stages a mix of competitive races and non‑timed formats over 6–7 June 2026, with courses described as a blend of forest tracks and tarmac where appropriate. Practical information such as mandatory kit, time limits and age rules are provided on the official site and in the event regulation; bib collection, medical support and refreshment points are arranged locally. Participants can expect a convivial atmosphere with specific offerings for children and post‑race regional touches that reflect the Gigondas wine region.
