Other questions
The race is scheduled for Saturday 7 November 2026. It is a single day event with no second day of racing.
The race is based in Bourg-Charente, a village in the Charente department within the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of western France. It sits near the town of Cognac and is roughly half an hour from Angoulême.
It is a trail race, so expect natural surfaces such as earth paths, field edges, and woodland tracks rather than tarmac. Conditions can be soft or muddy after autumn rain.
Trail shoes with a decent grip are the best choice, especially if the ground is wet. Road shoes will work on firm, dry tracks but can feel insecure on muddy or rooty sections.
Early November in the Charente is typically cool and changeable, with a real chance of rain and damp ground underfoot. Bring a light waterproof layer and a change of clothes for afterwards.
