TRAIL DU DRAC

Trail du Drac: your Gateway to the TPM in 2027

Born in 2023, the Trail du Drac returns in 2027! It serves as the gateway to the TPM (Trail des Passerelles du Monteynard). So, you discover and try mid-mountain trail running on a short course. But don’t underestimate it: with about 700 m of elevation gain, it delivers real thrills.

First, you start from the Plage de Savel. Then you run along the lake for a few kilometres, before crossing the Drac Footbridge for the first time. Next, the course climbs through the pine forests between the two footbridges up to the village of Villard-Julien, where an aid station awaits you.

After that, you head back down towards the finish. Along the way, the trails offer superb views of the lake and the Sénépi. Plus, you run on the training grounds of Nicolas Martin, world vice-champion and TPM ambassador.

Finally, you cross the Drac Footbridge a second time, for another Himalayan-style crossing, and reach the finish line by the water at the Plage de Savel.

TRAIL RACE

You can find all the details of the route of Trail du Drac by clicking on the link below:

The natural spaces we are working on and the people who are taking care of those lands and territories, which you will be crossing for the race, are factors we do not control 100%. Therefore, we sometimes have to make changes to our different routes, which can slightly modify the distance and/or the altitude difference. This distance and altitude difference is therefore given as an indication.
