Millau Trail Land

THE PLACE TO RUN

Trail is a recent running sport. Occasional runners and experienced runners share the same passion, running in the great outdoors with a sense of space and freedom.

The trailer runs on trails, roads, paths, monotraces that go up, down… Never a dull moment! He respects and discovers a natural environment, magnificent landscapes. Sometimes he may even spot wild boar, vultures or other wild animals in the distance…
