Ultra Trail of the Giants 2026

ULTRA TRAIL DES GEANTS 2026 is a multi-distance ultratrail festival held on La Réunion that gathers several long-distance trail races over a single long weekend. The programme spans a sequence of very high-elevation courses across volcanic and mountainous terrain, with finish lines staged in Saint-Denis; the organiser page lists official parcours for distances from roughly 47.9 km up to 226.26 km. The event is presented by Trace de Trail in partnership with local stakeholders and emphasises certified, technical routes and downloadable parcours details for each race.

The race weekend is notable for its extreme elevation profiles and varied start locations across the island, with all finishes arranged at Stade de la Redoute in Saint-Denis. Participants can consult per-race parcours pages for detailed maps and elevation profiles; the organiser provides GPX traces and course profiles via the parcours links. Entrants should expect mountain terrain, significant vertical gain on every course, and multi-day logistics across several start towns on Réunion.
