Trail Alsace UTMB: a unique experience to live
From 14 to 17 May 2026, Alsace will vibrate to the rhythm of the Trail Alsace by UTMB, an international sporting event that turns Obernai, in particular, into a meeting point for trail-running enthusiasts and their supporters.
Each year, the Trail Alsace UTMB establishes itself as a must-attend event for trail-running enthusiasts.
Far more than a simple race, this international event offers several demanding courses, crossing the emblematic landscapes of Alsace: renowned vineyards, deep forests, remarkable natural sites and technical trails offering breathtaking panoramas. The considerable elevation changes and the diversity of the terrain make it a true challenge, reserved for those who love strong sensations and pushing their limits.
But the Trail Alsace UTMB is also a great celebration for the whole region.
In Alsace, and most particularly in Obernai, this event is a highlight of the year. The town comes alive, the streets vibrate to the rhythm of the starts and finishes, and residents and visitors alike gather to cheer on the runners in a friendly and warm atmosphere.
To make the most of this unique experience, the Hôtel La Diligence in Obernai is a prime address. Ideally located just a few steps from the start of the races and the final finish line, it allows participants to focus on their performance with no logistical constraints. Supporters, for their part, enjoy privileged access to experience the event up close.
