Dark Trail

Every winter, the Dark Trail of Orgelet, in the Jura, invites you to an evening of nocturnal trail running focused on sharing and conviviality 🌙. With your headlamp on, you set off on hilly and varied courses, drawn on the trails around Orgelet, with a simple guiding promise: to live the night trail in a warm and accessible atmosphere ✨. The event is aimed at both runners who are new to nocturnal running and those looking for an ideal ground to prepare for major winter milestones.

On the ground, the Dark Trail relies on pleasure and discovery 🏃‍♂️. The paths unfold, the night shifts your bearings, and illuminated animations punctuate the course to surprise and motivate you throughout the effort. The route strikes a balance: sufficiently playful to stay fun, yet demanding enough to add depth to the outing.

But the Dark Trail is also an event that gives collective meaning to individual effort 🤍. Through this race, the organizers support charitable projects, notably for improving access to education for children in Benin, as well as several local associations. Participating means contributing concretely to humanitarian actions, well beyond the finish line.

And because the fun doesn’t stop at the last kilometer, the evening carries on in a festive atmosphere 😄. At the finish, a convivial moment awaits runners with hot meals, drinks and music, to chat, warm up, and celebrate together the night spent on the trails. A true third half, faithful to the spirit of the Dark Trail.

A race where you run for yourself… and a little for others as well ✨.
