Le Cézanne moves to an October 2027 trail-race date
The date change matters: older pages still describe an April 2026 race, while the main announcement now places the next event in October 2027. Use the announced October date for the new edition, and do not transfer spring registration deadlines, weather assumptions or spectator instructions without checking them.
The distance-specific page currently has placeholders for ascent, aid-station positions and checkpoint times. Those blanks are missing information, not zero climbing or an unlimited race duration. Wait for the completed rules before deciding whether the support window suits your preparation or how much food and drink to carry between stations.
The previous profile describes a mix of runnable and technical terrain around Sainte-Victoire. Train for sustained movement on uneven ground and for controlled climbing and descending, rather than treating 42 km as a flat road marathon. Use permitted public routes for practice; an old participant trace is not permission to cross private sections outside the event.
The listed equipment includes a personal cup, emergency blanket, whistle, food reserve, charged phone and at least half a litre of water. Recheck the final mandatory list and any weather-dependent additions before packing. The listed minimum water capacity does not establish how much is appropriate for every runner or every condition. Keep the 2027 participant messages accessible, confirm collection and the Rousset starting area, and give supporters only the approved viewing points. If the final route is intentionally withheld, follow the organizer’s marking and navigation instructions rather than downloading an unofficial substitute and assuming it is the race course.
