L'Infernal Trail des Vosges

Whenever you feel like running a trail,

to fill yourself with wonders,

You see life in the Vosges 🌷

Forget the sweetness of Môme, and join the madness of an extraordinary event! We’ll meet you in Saint-Nabord in the Grand Est for the Infernal Trail des Vosges (you’ll see, it truly lives up to its name) 😈. Don’t bother about whether we’re talking about the department or the massif; in reality it’s a bit of both ✌️. This is a nature-forward region: if you love forest runs, lakes, and mountains, you’ll be happy! The ideal playground for trail lovers. A small note that could matter: in the heart of September weather can play tricks. Be prepared, especially since temperatures are likely to vary with altitude during your run. 😬

Since 2009, the Infernal Trail des Vosges has become a reference in the world of trail running in France but also in Europe. When it comes to distances and routes, there’s something for every taste: 8 races on the program, from the Vosges to Alsace, from the most accessible to the most “impossible” you could say, with common denominators of courses in the great outdoors and stunning landscapes. ⛰

To start, 3 trails are offered with distances of 15 km (IT15), 30 km (IT30) and 60km (IT60). Elevation gains are substantial but there’s something for every level 😎. Then we move on to Ultras-Trails, with distances of 130 km (IT130) and the grandest with 200 km (IT200) 🔥. This is a different vibe entirely: beyond the kilometers increasing drastically, the elevation follows suit up to around 10 000 m D+ for IT200. Get ready to traverse all kinds of environments: mountains, forests, small rivers, villages around and inside the Parc naturel régional des Ballons des Vosges. You’ll get the idea: you’ll need extraordinary physical and mental strength to conquer these ultras. 💪

Feeling intimidated? Don’t worry—stay with us, there’s something for everyone! Because it’s not over yet! The organizer offers two more atypical courses. First is an 8 km race that breathes Fun 🎉! You’ll push your limits on a course packed with obstacles as silly as they are fun. In soloor with your friends as a team, dress up and vibe to the DJ’s music. Of course, kids aren’t left out—they also get their own Infernal Mini-Run with a obstacle-filled parcours. 🐥

In short, everything’s set for an unforgettable moment in an extraordinary atmosphere. The VillageMount will be set up for the event and will make you live to the rhythm of the races, with music and enjoying the various activities and services offered over 4 days 💃🏻. And if you feel a bit lost? Don’t panic, hundreds of volunteers will be on hand to help you and ensure you make this moment unforgettable.🤗

Whether you’re a hardcore ultra-trail enthusiast or you’re simply looking to enjoy some sports in a festive and friendly atmosphere, the Infernal Trail des Vosges is made for you! 👈
