About this event

Set off to discover the ruins of the Aude department in the heart of May during the Cathar Trails in Cucugnan, in the Corbières massif. Five races suitable for all levels guide you between Cathar castles and varied landscapes, from the 12 km Ronde d’Alycia to the 68 km Trail des Donjons, with elevation gains (D+) ranging from 400 to 4400 m.

Embarking to discover the lesser-known ruins of the Aude department in the heart of May is the challenge awaiting you during the Trails Cathares. In Cucugnan, at the Corbières massif, technical tests stand before you, just like the numerous castles that will be on your path. 🏰

The Trails Cathares5 races tailored to your abilities and appetite. The “ Ronde d’Alycia ” and its 12 km with 400m D+ is a solidarity race supporting the association “ Princesse Alycia” that’s suitable for beginners. The “ Trail de Quéribus ” from 20 km and 1200m D+ is already more challenging. But that’s just the start! The “ Course des Seigneurs” comes in two versions: 32 km with 2300m D+ and 49 km with 3200m D+. Finally, for the hardcore trail runners, the “ Trail des Donjons ” from 68 km with 4400m D+ will thrill those who love steep adventures. 😉

On this occasion, you’ll not only glimpse the Cathar castles but also go inside them and race up their steep staircases. It’s a unique, technical course where you’ll run on rocky and pebble-strewn paths, through forests and meadows. A true condensé of all Occitanie landscapes, with phenomenal viewpoints! 🤩

You’ll stand at the foot of the Château de Quéribus, one of the last vertigo-inducing citadels. After a passage through the Roussillon Valley, you’ll see the Château de Padern and its village. It’s breathtaking! The Château de Peyrepertuse at Duilhac-sous-Peyrepertuse will also be on your route, as will the Gorges du Moulin de Ribaute which you can admire from above. 🤗

After the race, you can totally switch atmospheres by visiting Perpignan or the Prehistoric Museum of Tautavel, a reference in the field. Of course, we recommend tasting the region’s wines, the coteaux d’Occitanie are famous. 🍷

Sooner or later, you’ll head to the Trails Cathares !
