Le Trail de la Saint Martin

Le Trail de la Saint Martin begins in Saint-Martin-de-Londres, a village in Hérault, Occitanie, situated below Pic Saint-Loup. This mid-November event combines trail running and walking, commemorating the Saint Martin holiday. It offers shorter off-road distances, distinct from an all-day mountain ultra. Participants can select routes of approximately 9 km, 10 km, or 18 km, accommodating those seeking a brief forest excursion or a more extended local trail run. The courses traverse paths surrounding the village, winding through pines and Mediterranean garrigue, with shaded stretches providing respite. The terrain and environment define it as a countryside race, featuring natural tracks, the scent of scrubland, and vistas of the Hérault landscape rather than urban scenery. The 9 km route serves as the swift choice, the 10 km offers a balanced distance, and the 18 km allows runners extended time on the trails. The atmosphere is relaxed and local, resembling an Occitanie weekend run more than a structured road race.
