Trail du Cassoulet is a lively annual running and outdoor event held in Verfeil, in the Haute-Garonne region near Toulouse. Organized by a team of around 180 volunteers, the gathering combines sport, regional gastronomy and a welcoming, festive atmosphere. Its 2026 edition is scheduled for October 3 and 4.

Participants can choose trail races of 12, 19 or 28 kilometres, alongside children’s races, a 5-kilometre canicross and cani-hike, a 12-kilometre Nordic walk and a randonnée. The event also features a parent-and-child relay and a free Sunday childcare service for children aged three to ten. Runners follow the rolling paths of the Lauragais, with musical refreshment stops featuring local food and wine. Costumes are encouraged, and finishers who run in disguise receive a bottle of wine.

Festivities include a Saturday evening Pasta Party and a post-race cassoulet meal accompanied by bandas. The event welcomes runners, walkers and families, offering a distinctive way to enjoy outdoor activities and local traditions. Registration is online; paper and race-day registrations are not available.
