About the race
Trail de la Soupe is a two-day trail running event in La Roche-en-Ardenne on 28 and 29 November 2026. The event offers single-day routes and new two-day classifications introduced in 2026 with three limited-entry challenges (max 150 entries each): Explorer, Adventurer and Ultra, combining different distances across Saturday and Sunday. Routes on offer include a range of distances with significant positive elevation gains. Aid stations are placed along each route, are accessible by car, and have toilets.
Some stations are transformed into a Fan Zone with music, a speaker, a bar, coffee, warm soup and a pain saucisse. At the finish participants receive soup in a personal bowl; four different soups are served and cardboard cups are used at on-course stations. Start and finish are located at Place du Bronze in the centre of La Roche. Parking is available in several nearby public zones within a short walk.
Cut-off times apply and a minimum speed of 6 km/h is enforced for Sunday distances. Dropbag service is available at one aid station for longer distances. Mandatory and recommended kit varies by distance. Examples of required items for the longest routes include 1000 ml of water, a personal cup, an charged phone and a rescue blanket.
A GPS watch or device with the course is recommended. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
