Dear Castel'Run volunteers,
On this page you will find all the latest information about the organisation of the Trail du Val Rancure 2026, which will take place on Sunday 21 June: important documents to consult, the agenda for the preparatory meetings, and miscellaneous notes!
Would you like to volunteer for this magnificent event? Send an e-mail to castelrun04@gmail.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
In order to manage tasks and organisation as effectively as possible, we're using a shared tracking table. Between now and 21 June, you'll be receiving regular updates from Sophie, our volunteer coordinator.
Here is the agenda for all the meetings scheduled before the big day. Of course, you are not invited to all these meetings; only the division or mission managers are expected to attend some of them. If you have any doubts or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us: castelrun04@gmail.com - we will usually get back to you within the day.
