10km - Trail du Souffleur
Technical description: Primarily single-track, undulating trails with low gradients.
Starting from Savinia, the Trail du Souffleur is a 10-kilometre route designed for those looking to enjoy the experience while taking in the scenery. With relatively low elevation gain, the course follows rolling trails leading to the cliffs, offering stunning panoramic views. Runners will navigate shaded filaos groves before reaching a white-sand beach – the final push before crossing the finish line at Shandrani Beachcomber. This course is perfect for those wanting to explore the island’s southern coast at their own pace.
-
25km - Trail du Nautile
Technical description: Rolling trails with 300 metres of elevation gain and several river crossings.
Also ITRA-registered, the Trail du Nautile offers a rewarding challenge for runners of all levels, with a cumulative elevation gain of 300 metres. The route winds through sugarcane fields framed by coconut trees and follows the island’s iconic southern cliffs. Technical trails demand agility, while the race’s grand finale on Shandrani Beachcomber’s beach ensures a spectacular finish.

65km - Trail du Sud Sauvage
Technical description: The only trail race featuring technical trails going up and down 2,200 metres.
This course is registered with the International Trail Running Association (ITRA). It features a technical route with a cumulative elevation gain of 2,200 metres. Runners begin their journey with an ascent to the summit of Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire, followed by a descent into the Black River Gorges – a stretch of rolling trails that will test their endurance. The route then becomes increasingly demanding with the climb up Parakeet, the Paille-en-Queue trails leading to Alexandra Falls, and a final push to the summit of Piton Savane. The home stretch takes participants through the village of Souillac, along the island’s dramatic southern cliffs, before reaching the finish line on Shandrani Beachcomber’s pristine shoreline.
-
65km - Relay (Price Per Person)
In 2026, the event is innovating with a relay format for this route. Participants will therefore have the choice of tackling the entire 65km alone or sharing the experience with two other runners. A flexibility that allows everyone to experience the trail in their own way, according to their desires and level. Those who choose the relay will be allocated an iconic section of the route.
