Infinity trail

The backyard ultra phenomenon in Laval

Infinity Trail Laval – June 26, 27 & 28, 2026

After an unforgettable edition where endurance, atmosphere, mental strength, self-surpassing, and sharing were all on the agenda!
They held the loop as long as possible… and pushed themselves to the limit.
An extraordinary challenge, a unique adventure. Thanks to all the tireless participants.

And this year, we’re doing it again! Get ready to experience it once more—bigger, stronger, and even more memorable.

Push your limits!

Infinity Trail is an official Backyard Ultra circuit in France! Accessible to all, it plunges you into unique and magnificent locations for an extraordinary endurance experience.

💡 A simple but formidable concept: inspired by Lazarus Lake, the creator of the legendary Barkley, the Infinity Trail follows a single rule…

🔁 6.706 km per loop
⏳ A start every hour
⏱️ Finish in under an hour to continue

Finish a loop in 45 minutes? You have 15 minutes to rest.
Do you complete it in 58 minutes? You’ve only got 2 minutes before the next start.

🔥 The aim? To last as long as possible.
🥇 The winner? The last rider able to complete a loop.

How far are you willing to go ?💪🚀

A victim of its own success! 😍
Registrations are now full, but you can still try your luck by joining the waiting list 👇

Decoding the challenge

Laz imagined a loop to be completed 24 times (i.e. in 24 hours) to reach 161 km – the famous 100-mile distance, a veritable legend in the United States!

Although the figures may be impressive, the format remains accessible to all!

The concept  is simple: run 6.7 km in less than 1 hour, that’s an average speed of 6.7 km/h. Accessible, isn’t it? Whether you’re aiming for 3, 5 laps or more, there’s a place for you! 💪

On the Backyard in Laval, two participants stopped on the 1st lap, and the average for participants was 10.7 laps. No pressure, just the pleasure of surpassing yourself.

This loop format is ideal for testing out longer distances, getting close to ultra trail running or simply beating your own records. Plus, you always return to base camp every hour and are never more than 3km from the start – it’s a safe race, even at night. 🌙

And here’s a statistic that may convince you: 50% beat their distance record and 20% double it!

So what are you waiting for? We’ll see you in 2026!

The course of the very first Infinity Trail in Laval was a true showcase of everything the Mayenne region has to offer!
Mostly easy woodland paths… sometimes steep and demanding, charming riverside trails, and panoramic views that let runners enjoy the race from sunrise to sunset — all within a 100% natural environment, just steps from the city!
The start and finish lines were set at l’Asinerie du Bois Gamats, an authentic and unique venue — preserved, welcoming, and full of character.
