The course
80 km course. An atypical route to discover the Ile-de-France region in a different way. From the regional base of Loisirs de saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, through the Bois de la roussière, the state-owned forest of Versailles, the Bois du Pont colbert, the state-owned forest of Meudon, the domain of saint Philipppe, the domain of the observatory of Meudon, the state-owned forest of Fausse reposes, the national domain of Saint-Cloud, the island of Saint-Germain, the banks of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower, the participants in the 80 km Paris Trail will really combine history and nature in a single race!
course 50 km. A real transition test for all asphalt enthusiasts wishing to convert to running in nature, the 50 km trail is now well established. Following the same philosophy as the 80km, this journey through forests and woods ensures you a route made up of 90% trails and paths to find its epilogue at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. The path that takes you there is demanding but holds the promise of magnificent landscapes, from the Palace of Versailles to the national domain of Saint-Cloud via the Swiss pond.
course 30 km. Making the event accessible to as many runners as possible is a real guiding idea for the trailers of Paris and this event is the perfect illustration of this. The start of this event will be given in the Avenue du château (Meudon 92) near the Meudon observatory, a magnificent site, not normally open to the public and already used by the 80 km runners. From the Avenue du château (Meudon 92), passing at the foot of the Meudon observatory, then through the Meudon state forest, the state forest of Fausse reposes, the national domain of saint-cloud, the island of saint-Germain, the banks of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower, participants in the 30km trail will really be able to enjoy nature and a historical heritage as rich as ever!
