Description

Come and take part in the Val d'Argent trails, which will celebrate its 5th edition on Sunday May 5, 2024.
Experience a sporting adventure in the heart of the Val d'Argent!
The organizers look forward to seeing you at 8am to start the Val d'Argent trail!
Just a taste of what's in store: the first few kilometers, early in the morning, will take you up to the Pierre des Trois Bans, along the Brezou'hard mining trails. All along the ridge, and then at Brezouard, you'll enjoy breathtaking scenery, before plunging into the deep Rauenthal. A short "nothing at all" climb brings you back to the Haïcot ridge.

Here, the 24 km runners can take a breather: all they'll have to do is unwind all the way to the finish. But as for you, you'd better have your feet firmly on the ground! So enjoy the view, before slipping quietly down to the Col des Bagenelles. The serious stuff starts here: you'll have to climb back up to the Col du Pré de Raves, crossing the ski slopes, before a 6-kilometer rollercoaster ride along the old border route, passing through many places steeped in history: the Violu, with its relics of the First World War, or the Tree of Liberty, on a smugglers' path...

Different race courses for all levels: Le Trail du Val d'Argent (43.5 km, 2000 m elevation gain), La Brézou'Hard (22 km, 970 m elevation gain - start at 9 am), La Ronde des Mines (11 km, 500 m elevation gain - start at 9:30 am), Le Tour de l'Horloge (5 km, 200 m elevation gain - start at 9:45 am).
The race starts at 8am.
Prices: from €2 to €35 depending on the formula chosen.
Courses for everyone and every taste, from 5km to 42km, including children's races!
