The Trail des Cerises takes runners through the wooded Douron valley, a Natura 2000 site in Brittany. The courses follow shaded, undulating hiking trails, heath and gorse before reaching the 'Chaise du curé' viewpoint. After a steep, toboggan-like descent and a stream crossing, the routes pass an aid station and the Tumulus. Along the way, remnants of Second World War Resistance hideouts and a memorial stele pay tribute to local history. The final stretch runs through rolling countryside on paths kept almost entirely free of tarmac, returning to the Salle G. Lejean.
