The first edition in July 2019 attracted no fewer than 800 runners… For the 2024 edition, there were 1,000 registered to attempt this adventure! From the Provençal village to the forest, you will have to climb the Avencq climb nicknamed “THE WALL”, a category 1 hill, taken by the Paris-Nice runners, at an average of 9% for nearly 2 km.
The Village Trail, “The Wall”
Ready to join the race? This year, the big start will take place on Thursday, July 10, 2025, at 8 p.m.
Runners will set off through the narrow streets of the village of La Colle to reach the wooded areas of the Bois de Montgros. They will climb the formidable slope of the Chemin de l’Avencq, nicknamed “The Wall” (9% average over 2 km with a 20% incline).
Get motivated and gather your friends, family, work colleagues, neighbors, groups, or sports clubs. Set yourself new challenges and sign up for the “Village Trail®.” This race isn’t virtual; it’s a competition on a real course, allowing participants to complete the Village Trail race in La Colle-sur-Loup through two challenges: 12km with a 390m elevation gain or 8km with a 260m elevation gain.
Don’t forget the little ones with our two children’s races: the 500m (ages 5-9) or the 1.6km (ages 10-15).
You know road races, trail, ultra-trail, urban trail … This is now the first ever village trail!
