Trail du Saint-Jacques 2027 course maps

Registration for 2027 opened on August 11, 2026, with no lottery and no pre-registration. For the first 48 hours only runners with a UTMB Index could enter. After that it stayed open to everyone until each race sold out, and there's no waiting list. When this page was checked, the 100K, 50K and 20K were sold out, and the 100M and the 12 du Dolaizon were still open.

Fees rise in steps as bibs go: 220 to 260 € for the 100M, 150 to 185 € for the 100K, 105 to 135 € for the 50K, 40 to 55 € for the 20K and 25 € for the 12 du Dolaizon, plus an 8% administration fee. Every entry includes the ride from Le Puy to your start.

You can't transfer a bib to another runner or defer it to the next year, even when injured. You can move down to a shorter race until four weeks before the event. Your entry is only confirmed once you add a PPS code to your MyUTMB account. You get it by doing the French athletics federation's online health course, three months before the race.

Every race finishes in Le Puy-en-Velay, and entry includes the organizer's transport from there out to your start. The closest big airport is Lyon-Saint-Exupéry, about 148 km northeast. Le Puy-Loudes airport is 12 km northwest of town. TER trains run to Le Puy from Saint-Étienne-Châteaucreux and from Clermont-Ferrand.

After the finish, bags are handed back at the Quincieux gymnasium, less than a kilometer from the line. The event's travel partner is Nirvana, and the Le Puy tourist office keeps a list of places to stay.

In the 100M and 100K, one person can help you at the aid stations that allow it, in an area set aside for crews. On the 100M the 2026 course data marks Prades, Monistrol-d'Allier, Saint-Privat-d'Allier, Saint-Jean-Lachalm, Lac du Bouchet and Saint-Christophe-sur-Dolaizon; the 100K has the same stations from Saint-Privat on. The 50K's course data marks crew access too, at Saint-Privat-d'Allier, Saint-Jean-Lachalm and Saint-Christophe-sur-Dolaizon. Your crew can hand you a bag of up to 30 liters and help with small things like a blister or a massage while you sit.

The crew zone runs from 500 m before an aid station to 500 m after it. Pacers aren't allowed: running with anyone outside the marked zones near aid stations earns a time penalty.

In June, Le Puy-en-Velay averages highs of 21.0°C and lows of 8.4°C, with about 69 mm of rain over eight or so wet days (1981 to 2010). The 100M runs through the night, so pack for a cold few hours. Depending on the forecast, the organizer can make a hot weather kit mandatory, with 2 liters of water, sunglasses, sunscreen and a cap that covers your neck, or a bad weather kit with warm, waterproof layers.

The 100M's basic kit includes two headlamps with spare power, 1 liter of water, a hooded waterproof jacket, a survival blanket and a phone running the race's tracking app. The 100K needs one headlamp. Keep the phone on: in the 100M and 100K, turning it off or into airplane mode costs 15 minutes. If you start without poles, you can't pick them up later.
