PRONATUR Laboratory, partner of the Glanum Trail

Laboratoire PRONATUR in Saint Rémy de Provence, a specialist in Joint and Muscle Wellness, is a partner of the Athletic Club Saint Rémois for its races in the heart of the ALPILLES mountain range every February.
The "grand parcours" of the Glanum trail is the flagship event, covering 30 kms and 1200m D+.
runners take on the Alpilles massif, on DFCI trails, singles, stones, all amidst the pines and garrigue typical of this massif.
The start is in the center of Saint Rémy, and after a few hectometres of asphalt, the participants are directed towards the Galine paths, with a succession of false flats and hills that make the thighs ache...(traileur's word).
Next, they take the famous pare-feu, a series of short but steep ascents and descents. After passing under the departmental road, they reach the Plateau des Antiques, from where they head for the Lac du Peiroou via the steep path to the small dam, to rejoin the course shared with the 15km Trail du Lac.
At km 22, the highest point of this magnificent course is reached, with an unobstructed view to the north of Mont Ventoux and the Rhône valley, and to the south of the Crau plain, Les Baux de Provence and, in fine weather, the sea.
That's why the Athlétic Club Saint Rémy de Provence invites you every year at the same time to the Trail Alpilles Glanum, a real trail course in the heart of the Alpilles massif with superb views.
