La courzapat' - Courzieu 2026

La Courzapat sends runners and hikers into the hills around Courzieu on Halloween night, with headlamps, costumes, and trail shoes expected. Organized by Les Traileurs Des Monts, it is a night trail and hiking event rather than a road race, with online-only registration and evening starts from the village sports hall. The program includes an 11 km hike with 500 m of climbing, an 11 km trail run with the same elevation gain, a 25 km trail with 1,130 m of climbing, and L'Azimut, a 16-25 km autonomous race built around checkpoints where runners choose their own route. Aid stations are planned on the marked courses, poles are allowed on the 11 km trail, hikers can bring a dog, and the Halloween setting provides an excuse to show up in costume.
