Duo Trail Sapeurs-Pompiers de Thiers 2026

The Duo Trail Sapeurs-Pompiers de Thiers is a Friday-night trail race in Thiers, Puy-de-Dôme, starting at 7 PM with teams of two. It is organized by the local firefighters’ association, the Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers, maintaining a small, local character. One reported edition featured 91 duos, with entry priced per team. The race guides pairs through what the organizers term the “entrails of Thiers,” a fitting description for a hilly cutlery town with narrow streets and uneven terrain. The format is intentionally distinct: duo-only, at night, and with a charitable component. The organizers characterize it as a micro-adventure focused on rustic, technical, enjoyable running. Past results indicate a significant difference between the top men's and women's teams, suggesting a course that demands more than pure road speed.
