La Foulée de Crossey 2026

La Foulée de Crossey takes place at the foot of the Chartreuse mountains, with trail races centered in Saint-Etienne-de-Crossey and on paths in Saint-Nicolas-de-Macherin and Saint-Aupre. The series provides three distances: 9 km, 14 km, and 24 km. The short race involves 200 m of elevation gain, the middle option has 450 m, and the long race gains 1000 m, allowing participants to select from a brief local trail run to a more demanding mountain-edge course. The 9 km route suits all levels, remaining fast and demanding, with forest sections near La Croix Saint-Denis designed to elevate heart rate. The new 14 km race offers more distance than the short course without the full 1000 m of climbing; it has moderate elevation changes until the Montmain woods, then requires repeated efforts. The 24 km route, also new in layout, passes La Croix Saint-Denis, Montmain, and the Monure hill, and is part of the Challenge du Pays Voironnais Trail Series. This event marks its 40th edition, lending this local Chartreuse-foot trail gathering significant history while remaining accessible.
