The Night Trail offers a unique experience: running by the light of your headlamps along wild trails, through deep forests, over gentle ridges and past the silhouettes of spruce trees. Spanning 10 km, this accessible yet challenging route provides an unforgettable sensory immersion, where the sounds of the night replace the noise of the day, and where the physical exertion brings out new emotions.
Whether you’re seeking a personal challenge, your first night-time experience or a chance to share the adventure with friends, this trail is sure to surprise you.
Please wear trail running shoes suitable for mixed terrain.
