Festi-Trail des Bourriques
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Trail des Bourriques
First edition: a resounding success
On October 25, 2025, the first edition of the Festi-Trail des Bourriques took flight at the Montbarnier stadium in Yssingeaux. Organized by the young team of the association Les Auvergnades, the event immediately captivated the trail community: the 480 places were snapped up in a few weeks, with registrations selling out a week before the race.
The 500 runners — from 21 departments — braved difficult weather conditions, with rain and falling darkness on the trails of Yssingeaux and Saint-Jeures. Three races were offered in a semi-night format:
- Trail des Chanis: 26 km, 860 m D+, start at 5:15 PM
- Trail des Empuètes: 21 km, 715 m D+, start at 5:45 PM
- Trail des Clèdes: 13.5 km, 350 m D+, start at 6:00 PM
Paulin Trivel won the Trail des Chanis, dancing in the rain as he crossed the finish line, a symbol of the event's festive spirit.
After the effort, 600 croziflettes were served at the Montbarnier gymnasium, followed by a DJ set that extended the party late into the night. A successful debut that bodes well for the future of this new trail event in Haute-Loire.
