The biggest trail race in Dordogne, between bastides and valleys of Périgord
The Périgord Grand Trail was born in 2018 from the passion of local runners eager to showcase the natural and heritage riches of the Dordogne through outdoor running. Starting from La Guillou, near Lalinde, the event offers four race formats accessible to all levels, from hikers to experienced trail runners.
The Ultra du Périgord (90 km, 2,400 m D+) is the flagship event, crossing the most beautiful landscapes of Périgord Pourpre and Périgord Noir, passing through Couze, Lanquais, Bayac, Saint-Avit-Sénieur, Molières, Cales, Trémolat, and Mauzac. The Trail des Bastides (46 km, 1,400 m D+), the Trail de la Vallée Pourpre (30 km, 800 m D+), and the Trace du Cinglé (18 km, 400 m D+) complete the offering.
The Périgord Grand Trail highlights the built and natural heritage of the Dordogne: medieval bastides, Romanesque churches, ridge paths, oak forests, limestone cliffs, and meanders of the Dordogne river. The event is supported by local authorities and regional tourism offices.
The Périgord Grand Trail returns on Saturday, May 9, 2026, for its 9th edition. Starting from La Guillou in Lalinde, runners can choose from four formats: the Ultra du Périgord (90 km, 2,400 m D+), the Trail des Bastides (46 km), the Trail de la Vallée Pourpre (30 km), and the Trace du Cinglé (18 km). The routes will cross the bastides, Romanesque churches, and valleys of Périgord. Registrations are open on the official website.
Start and finish at La Guillou, route de La Guillou, 24150 Lalinde.
