Trail des Sangliers

In 2025, this brand new trail running event made a lasting impression and attracted over 1,000 runners.

It is back in 2026 for a second edition, with increasingly demanding routes in the heart of the Ardennes.

‘The Trail des Sangliers was born to fill the gap between our 2 long winter trails, the Houffa Trail and the Trail des Trois Bornes and the Trail Chimay / Longest Day / Godefroy Bouillon summer trails’ explains Nick Van Hemel, race director of Sportevents.

Our aim is to meet the growing demand for longer distances. What a marathon is for street runners, a 100k is for trail runners!

And this gap will be filled by no less than 4 different distances, which will be run solo (and no longer as a duo) and which are all UTMB Index Events.

For 11 years, this event was only open to pairs. Solo runners can now enjoy improved routes and… two long distances of 35 and 57 kilometres.

Distances: 15, 26, 35 and 57 km.
