Trail de Guerlédan

The only war you’ll fight here is the one against yourself because we’re trail runners, not couch potatoes, but we’ve got the mindset we need, muscles, muscles, fresh trail vibes, fresh trail vibes... 🎵

We invite you to come blow off steam in the heart of Brittany at the Trail de Guerlédan. This historic race (yes, we can call it that since it was created in 1999, the year Matrix came out) will be your chance to discover, during a trail in a fantastic setting

the five distances offered. You get to choose between the 8 km of the "Filles des Forges", a women‑only race, the 13 km of the "Trail de Liscuis", the Interceltic of 26 km, the 36 km in full or the legendary Trail de Guerledan and its 63 km. And for the super warriors, a challenge is also on offer: the 100-mile ultra. The goal is to chain the 36 km and 63 km... enough to make you sore tomorrow! Trail of jokes 🤣, the trail route of your Guerlédan Trail will blow your mind and your legs 🦵 (as you might suspect, just by saying that, we’re preparing you for quite a lot of elevation, you’d better always take the stairs ah ah) ! On terrain that shifts in perfect harmony with the landscape, you’ll be able to push yourself along the Lac de Guerlédan, the landes de Liscuis, of l’Anse de Sordan, the Bellevue lock or still around the Guerlédan dam. After running on monotrace, steep, hilly and lush trails 🌿 around the largest Breton artificial lake (yes, the 300 hectares of Lac de Guerlédan won’t leave you indifferent), you’ll finally reach your destination. No matter where you start, your finish will be in front of the majestic Abbaye de Bon-Repos. Even it recommends you take a break 🤣.

Once you’ve given it your all and sweated on warrior-grade elevation, we suggest cooling off at the Lac de Guerlédan with some water activities, a paddle, a kayak and you’re done! And as they say, “water digs holes,” go sample the local specialties of the biscuiterie de Guerlédan 🍪. Fancy trying buckwheat chips? You’ll tell us what you think! To end on a high, you can also stroll through the flower town of Pontivy

Ready to take off on the Trail de Guerlédan, you’ll see you’ll feel right at home there! 👌
