The La Bresse trail running calendar for summer 2026 currently has three events confirmed by the tourist office: a weekly Wednesday run, Foulées Bressaudes and a twilight trail held during the Trace Vosgienne mountain-bike weekend. This page was revised on 14 July to remove races for which no verifiable official announcement could be found.

Afterwork Trail: six Wednesday runs in La Bresse
The official Afterwork Trail listing covers 15, 22 and 29 July, followed by 5, 12 and 19 August 2026. Each session is scheduled from 6:45 pm to 9 pm, meeting at Intersport La Bresse, 17 quai des Iranées.
The run is described as approximately 10 km. The listing also mentions a trail-shoe test with a different brand each week. Advance booking is required; use the contact details on the official page to secure a place.
Foulées Bressaudes on 18 July
Foulées Bressaudes takes place in central La Bresse on Saturday 18 July 2026. The tourist office lists the event from 7:30 pm to 10 pm with four race distances:
- 1,300 m junior race;
- 2,500 m junior race;
- 3,000 m popular race;
- 7,250 m Course des As.
A non-timed, non-ranked Baby activity is also listed. Consult the organiser’s page for age groups, registration and participation requirements.
A 14 km twilight trail on 25 July
The Trace Vosgienne VTT programme includes a new 14 km twilight trail in 2026. Its start is scheduled for 7:30 pm on Saturday 25 July at Lac de Longemer in Xonrupt-Longemer.
This run forms part of a weekend whose main programme is mountain biking. Its starting time and entry process are therefore separate from the cycling rides and races.
Planning an active week
Our guide to what to do in La Bresse in July places these races alongside the season’s other verified events. For an independent outing rather than a race, use the Hohneck hiking guide to plan the route and check the La Bresse weather guide before setting out.
The official listings remain the reference for registration, any documents requested and late programme changes. This page does not replace the rules issued for each event.
