Trail de la Lune Bleue

Every year, the Trail of the Blue Moon in Ailly-sur-Noye, in the Somme (Hauts-de-France), invites runners to experience a unique nocturnal adventure 🌙. Held at the end of March, this night trail event marks often the season's first major nature gatherings. With headlamp on, you set off on Picardy trails for a race that blends effort, immersion and imagination. Several trail distances are offered, designed for regular trail runners as well as those looking to discover the discipline, not to mention some children’s races. The Trail of the Blue Moon stands out for its atmosphere and world, well beyond a simple start-and-finish line.

The Trail of the Blue Moon route mostly runs in nature 🌲. Forest trails, paths along the Noye, and more technical sections make up a varied course. Nighttime heightens the sensations and demands constant attention, especially on quick accelerations and tighter passages. Short formats remain accessible and playful, while longer distances are for runners who can manage their effort and lucidity in the dark.

What makes this race truly special is its immersive nocturnal ambiance ✨. Light performances, shadow play and references to the legend of the Blue Moon accompany runners along the course. The universe is crafted with care to offer an original experience, without ever compromising the spirit of trail running and the joy of being in nature.

The experience doesn’t stop at the finish line 😊. The race village, the volunteers’ warm welcome and the aid stations all contribute to a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Sharing impressions, reliving the race, simply enjoying the moment. In Ailly-sur-Noye, this late-March night trail has become a much-anticipated appointment, loved by both runners and their supporters.

A race that kicks off the season, a night that leaves a lasting impression 🌌.
