The Trail Nocturne de la Colline takes place on November 20, 2026, in Élancourt, with two free race formats lasting 2 and 6 hours. The official registration form now offers a waiting list for those wishing to take part if a place becomes available due to a cancellation.

The 2026 Colline Night Trail takes place on Friday, November 20, from 6:30 p.m., on the Colline d’Élancourt in the Yvelines. The idea is to complete a 1.6 km loop with 65 meters of elevation gain as many times as possible, by headlamp.

Two durations are available: 2 hours, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and 6 hours, from 6:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 21. The 2-hour race can be run solo or in pairs; the 6-hour race can be run solo or in teams of two to four. In the relay, only one team member runs at a time.

A waiting list for free race bibs

Participation is free, but the official form now offers waitlist registration. The organizers say that the first complete applications will be given priority and contacted if a team that has already registered cancels. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a race bib.

The race is open to runners aged 16 and over, with parental consent required for minors. Adults must provide a valid FFA Athlé Compétition, Entreprise or Running licence, or a valid Pass Prévention Santé issued no more than one year ago. Minors must provide the specific documents set out in the race rules. A headlamp is mandatory throughout the race. Access and parking are via rue Alain-Colas in Élancourt.

Race bibs can be collected in person on Thursday, November 19, from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. or Friday, November 20, from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., upon presentation of ID and proof of registration. For team entries, the captain provides teammates’ details on the form.
