Roc d'Aluze trail nocturne 2026

Roc d'Aluze is a night trail run starting in Aluze, a village in Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, typically held in late October. The primary choices are single-loop trails of approximately 10 km and 16 km, along with a 10 km duo race for teams of two. The 16 km course involves a 450 m elevation gain, and the duo route climbs 200 m. A solo 10 km option is also available, featuring the same 450 m of climbing as the longer race, indicating that even the shorter distance is not flat. The course follows paths and hills around Aluze and Mercurey, guiding participants through Burgundy's wine regions by headlamp instead of on illuminated urban streets. The duo race attracts the largest number of participants, with over 200 finishers recorded in one edition, while the 16 km has seen more than 100. Another account noted approximately 500 total starters for the event. This race appeals to local trail runners and those seeking a social evening run, offering sufficient elevation changes to necessitate careful pacing.
