After an amazing fourth edition in 2026, the Trail Alsace by UTMB is back for a more incredible and unique experience between castles and vineyards in 2027.
Supported by the Grand Est Region, Trail Alsace by UTMB will take place during the height of spring from 13 – 16 May 2027 across the two departments of Alsace, Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin, in northeastern France. Organized in line with the highest UTMB standards, the event will offer local as well as international runners wishing to discover the region the opportunity to experience a unique journey through time as they explore castles and vineyards, which for many will be the start of their quest to the UTMB World Series Finals.
This event is first and foremost a story of friendship, passion, encounters, values and dreams. A passion for running but also for our region and our heritage. This project was born from a desire of a group of friends to run from Mont St Odile to the castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg, through both departments of Alsace and crossing as many fortified castles as possible. Our dream to become part of the UTMB World Series has now come true, ensuring runners from all over the world can discover our playground.
