Trail of Vauclaire

The Trail de Vauclaire is a community trail running and walking day held at the Centre Hospitalier de Vauclaire in Montpon-Ménestérol. The event (Trail de Vauclaire) offers multiple distances on forested tracks and DFCI pistes, with courses aimed at a wide range of abilities from short 5 km routes to a new 20 km trail. Races are organised by the local Club Omnisports de Vauclaire with timing and registration handled by Protiming, and bib collection is available on-site on race morning.

The terrain is predominantly woodland trails with limited road sections on the longest route, and on-course and finish ravitaillements are provided for the longer distances. The event emphasises a local, club-run atmosphere with group registration options for clubs and companies and volunteer opportunities. Participants are advised to bring appropriate hydration and trail footwear for variable forest paths and modest elevation gains on each distance.
