Trail of the Elves | Night race along paths and trails

Trail des Lutins | Course nocturne entre chemins et sentiers (listed on the organiser site as "Trail des Lutins") is a night-time trail running event scheduled for 21 November 2026 in Bussus-Bussuel, France. The race is organised by Association Les Zhironloins and is presented as a festive, fairy‑tale themed nocturnal experience on forest tracks and rural paths. The event page indicates charitable beneficiaries (Téléthon and Envol'Inf) and lists a total prize amount of €500, emphasising a community-focused atmosphere. Promotional copy stresses accessibility with parcours adapted to different ability levels.

On the day there are three marked parcours — La Balade (8 km), L'Échappée (12.5 km) and Le Périple (18.5 km) — with staggered afternoon/evening starts (15:00 and 17:00 on 21 November 2026). Each route is described as a single loop over trail terrain and the listing notes time limits for the longer distances. Entry fees shown on the event page are modest (€5, €10 and €15 depending on distance) and several local sponsors are credited, including Decathlon. Participants are advised to consult the organiser for final logistics, dossard procedures and any required attestations or age rules.
