Soldier of the Marne Trail 2026

Trail du Soldat de la Marne 2026 is a themed trail running event centred on the history of the Bataille de la Marne and held in Meaux. The route mixes urban passages, stair climbs and riverside trails along the Marne, and the course is punctuated with historical scenes and costumed re-enactments that immerse participants in the local history. The event places a strong local cultural emphasis, including references to regional gastronomy such as Brie de Meaux and landmarks around the town.
