About the race
Les Gendarmes et les Voleurs de Temps is a family oriented running event held in Ambazac in the Limousin. The event program covers trail and running formats that take place over a weekend in May 2027, and includes races for adults, children and canine events.
Organised by an association since 2006, the event keeps a formal partnership with the Gendarmerie, which supported and originally organised the races from 1991 to 2006. The 2026 edition was the 25th and its photos and video material are being published.
Race offerings span several distances and formats:
- 5 km trail now proposed as a DUO format for one man and one woman running together
- 10 km
- 20 km
- 32 km
- Canicross and canine trail options including 5 km, 11 km and 15 km
A new small challenge combines 20 km and 10 km, while the existing grand challenge links 32 km and 20 km. Children’s events include individual age-category races on Saturday and parent-child relay races on Sunday. The canine events draw large fields, with over 300 teams reported at the 11 km start. The programme has been adjusted after the 2026 edition to move several races earlier in the day and to modify offerings based on participation trends.
