Ecotrail Paris

Q: What is the course route of EcoTrail Paris Trail 120km and what landmarks does it pass? A: The 120km starts at the Château de Rambouillet — a former royal residence southwest of Paris — and travels northeast through the forests and hillsides of western Île-de-France. The course passes through the Chevreuse Valley, renowned for its historic châteaux, before entering the suburban and then urban western edge of Paris. The race finishes at Pont d'Iéna at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in central Paris. The course is 95% natural terrain — forest trails, field paths, and woodland tracks — with a final urban section through Paris streets to reach the iconic finish.

Q: Does EcoTrail Paris 122km sell out, and how do I register for 2027? A: Yes — the 2026 spring edition sold out across all distances including the 120km. The 122km is capped at 2,500 participants and registration fills rapidly when it opens. For the 2027 spring edition (March 20, 2027), pre-registration is available at en.ecotrailparis.com and full registration opens via njuko.com. A waiting list is available for cancelled spots once registration closes. The 2026 entry fee was approximately €200 (€1.64 per km).

Q: What UTMB Running Stones does EcoTrail Paris 122km award, and what other certifications does it hold? A: EcoTrail Paris 122km is a UTMB qualifier awarding Running Stones across three categories: 20K stones, 50K stones, and 100K stones. The time limit is 21h15. ITRA points awarded are 0 — the low elevation profile (2,000m D+ over 122km) does not meet ITRA point thresholds despite the distance. The event also carries an FFA Silver label. There is no minimum qualifying time or prior race prerequisite for the 120km.
