First edition exceeds expectations

Terrà Nostrail, a trail running event held for the first time in February 2026 in Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie, exceeded expectations with nearly 700 participants from 16 French departments and Belgium. The event was fully booked and supported by over 100 volunteers and a dozen partners.

New format added for 2027

For its second edition, Terrà Nostrail will offer four competitions, including a new 30 km trail called Le Sablon, which will debut in 2027. The event will also feature Le Clocher (9 km running), La Madone (9 km trail, D+ 170 m), and La Capitelle (18 km trail, D+ 500 m).

Registration opens in October

Registration for the four formats will open on Thursday, October 1st, 2026 at 7 PM, exclusively on Run Évasion Chrono. The arrival of the 30 km format marks a new stage in the development of Terrà Nostrail, with a more demanding course intended for trail runners seeking a longer challenge.

Event built on local spirit

Since its creation, Terrà Nostrail has been built around the idea that a trail is first and foremost a human adventure. Volunteers, associations, partners, and the local community have been central to the event, and this collective dimension will remain at the heart of the second edition.

Local products and artisans featured

Terrà Nostrail relies on local artisans, merchants, and producers from Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie and its surroundings to build an event that reflects the region’s character. Refreshment stations highlight local products, and trophies are made by ceramicists from the village, known for its pottery tradition. A market of exhibitors also takes place on the event day.

Event details and organizers' vision

Registration will open on Thursday, October 1st, 2026 at 7 PM, exclusively on Run Évasion Chrono. The organizers expressed that last year's event was a bold bet, and they felt a real passion from the commitment of volunteers and the enthusiasm of runners. This year, they aim to go further while staying true to the human aspect, the territory, and the love for trail running.
