Le Sacré Trail: An Ultra in the Heart of Champagne
Le Sacré Trail is much more than just a race: it's an 87-kilometer adventure through one of France's most beautiful terroirs. Created as part of the Reims Champagne Run, this exceptional trail takes runners from the CREPS of Reims to the iconic Porte de Mars, crossing the Montagne de Reims Regional Natural Park.
An Exceptional Course
The Sacré Trail route winds through the forests of the Montagne de Reims, vineyards classified as UNESCO World Heritage, and typical Champagne wine villages. Runners navigate varied terrain—forest paths, vineyard trails, urban passages—offering a unique diversity of landscapes and sensations. Eight aid stations are located along the course, some in emblematic locations of the Champagne vineyards.
An UTMB Indexed Event
Le Sacré Trail benefits from UTMB (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc) indexing, meaning runners' performances are recorded in the global ultra-trail rankings. This recognition attracts trail runners from all over the world, eager to discover an original course in the heart of an exceptional terroir while earning points for the UTMB World Series circuit.
The Four-Person Relay Format
For those who wish to experience the Sacré Trail as a team, a four-person relay is offered. Four runners share the 87 km course, allowing each to discover a portion of the route while experiencing a collective and supportive adventure. This friendly format is growing in popularity with each edition.
Strong Territorial Roots
By crossing 37 communes of the Grand Reims, Le Sacré Trail contributes to the region's influence and the valorization of its natural and wine heritage. Volunteers from the communes involved in the organization of aid stations and signage create a real link between the sporting event and the local inhabitants.
