Overview

The Trail Urbain Nocturne Villefranche-sur-Mer is an evening trail event staged in the coastal town of Villefranche-sur-Mer on the Côte d'Azur, held on Saturday 19 December 2026. Runners choose between a 10 km timed course and a 5 km walk, with both routes kept deliberately short so that the focus stays on the atmosphere of running through the town after dark. The ground underfoot mixes paved streets, steps and smaller paths typical of a Mediterranean hill town above the sea, and the organisers recommend checking the event website for the latest details on the course, start times and entry conditions.
