Trail de Bourbon 106km (Réunion, France) 2026
Also known as: GRAND RAID RÉUNION TRAIL DE BOURBON
A point-to-point that starts in the enclosed Cilaos cirque in the heart of Réunion and crosses the island's rugged mountains through the night to the capital, Saint-Denis. Part of the Grand Raid, it is billed as the stepping stone to the Diagonale des Fous. Poles are not allowed.
The course tops out at 2,079 m (low point 3 m). There are 4 big climbs: 872 m around 0–11 km; 1,482 m around 36–47 km; 616 m around 66–71 km; 714 m around 90–99 km. Only about 20% is gentle (under 5% grade); most of it is climbing or descending. The median finish was about 29 h, through 2 nights.

Enter your ITRA performance index to get an estimated finish time, aid-station splits and cutoff margins. This race has no finisher ITRA data, so it uses the transfer model: your predictions for the 205 races that do have finisher data, scaled by distance and elevation gain (km-effort) — the same calculation as the TRAIL STATUS app. Nothing is saved or sent.
The app adds predictions from your training log (Strava), race-day pacing and more. Free, no sign-up.
