Other questions
Late January in the Ardèche is normally cold, with frosty mornings and a real chance of rain or even snow on higher ground. Layers, gloves, a hat and shoes with good grip on mud are sensible choices, and it is worth carrying a light waterproof.
Yes, trail shoes are the sensible choice. The routes run over paths and tracks that are likely to be soft or muddy in January, and the extra grip makes a real difference on the descents.
The organiser's bad weather policy is not published here. Trail races in this region are rarely cancelled for cold or rain alone, but if conditions are unsafe the organiser will announce any change, so follow the event page in the days before race day.
