THOMAS PARIS
The 3 Rocs marks the start of the trail running season for Thomas - one of his favourites - a beautiful and challenging race.
At a glance
The Trail des Trois Rocs (16) is one of 3 events held on this day - our 'lite' version - a 16 km predominantly off road trail, open to all, licensees or not. Although shorter, it's a tough race with plenty of climbs, technical challenges and knee bending descents. A challenging but more accessible option for those wishing to try off-road running.
The route is carefully signposted. It follows some public paths and way-marked ways but also crosses private land not open to the public at any other time, allowing for unique access and views of the surrounding valley rivers and gorge.
Our top secret new trail has a few surprises this year. Get training.
There is a limit on the overall number of places (500 subject to changes in relation to Covid requirements). Registrations for the race will open late November and close when either all places have been taken on a first come first served basis or on the 1st May 2022.
Race profile of our race, a veritable rollercoaster of running, up and down single track.


HIGHLIGHTS
Racing along single track by the banks of the river Averyon with spots to dive in if you wish.
Scrambling up Le Grand 'Ouf' taking you to the top of the limestone gorge.
Arriving back along the cobbled streets of medieval St Antonin.
The glorious and expansive views of the 3 valleys and where they join.
Going back in time with an evening spent in the relatively untouched medieval village of St Antonin Noble Val.
Not a race for the faint-hearted, with various technical challenges including mud, scree, single track and scrambling.

Bringing the kids? A special event will be held on the day - for fun, kids can participate in a 1km supervised untimed run around the village.

Bottle Up
Runners who wear bottle belts use more than 40 per cent fewer water bottles and enjoy being able to drink when they want. Not only is this a more sustainable choice, as you’ll be reducing the number of bottles used on the course, you’ll also be HAPPIER.
