Village Trail La Colle-sur-Loup

Village Trail La Colle-sur-Loup takes place on Thursday 9 July 2026 and stages two evening trail challenges — a 12 km route with roughly 390 m of ascent and an 8 km route with roughly 260 m of ascent. Runners depart from the village and thread through village streets before entering the wooded sections of the Bois de Montgros, including the famous Avencq climb nicknamed “The Wall”. The event village opens with bib pickup and services from 17:00 and the main races start at 20:00 under night-time conditions. The course combines tight village lanes and forest trails to create a compact but demanding outing for participants.

Children’s races are organised from age five with two short events at 19:00 and 19:15, making the meeting family-friendly and suitable for juniors. The organiser emphasises responsible hydration for 2026: no single-use cups will be handed out on course and volunteers will assist at refill points. Prize giving follows the finishes and the evening includes live music and refreshment options, fostering a festive atmosphere for competitors and spectators. Participants should consult the official website for registration, the required health documents for minors, and practical logistics such as bib pickup and parking.
