The Trail de la Vallée du Havre is a nature trail event in Couffé, Loire-Atlantique, offering 9 km and 15 km routes, along with a 2 km children’s race. It takes place in late May, organized by APE Ecole Saint Joseph, the parents’ association for Saint-Joseph school. The event is intentionally non-competitive, without official rankings, appealing to participants seeking a marked trail experience rather than a timed race.
The routes primarily follow footpaths, walking trails, woods, and forest sections within the Havre valley. Both distances incorporate sections of the Pont Noyer trail circuit, which is noted on the departmental walking and hiking route plan and holds the Uni’Vert Trail label. Walkers are welcome on either the 9 km or 15 km course, ensuring the day is accessible to all ages, with food available on site post-race. Proceeds support cultural and sports activities for children at Saint-Joseph school.
