Angers au féminin

Angers au féminin is a women-only road race held in Angers, Maine-et-Loire, within France’s Pays de la Loire region. The next edition is scheduled for early March. Participants can choose from three distances: 2.5 km, 4.5 km, and 9 km, with the 9 km being the most frequently chosen. The event also features courses for children and juniors, and the 2.5 km distance is designed as a Mom and Child Duo. The race welcomes women of all experience levels, from seasoned runners to those new to the sport. Its core message focuses on acknowledging and appreciating womanhood, positioning it as a community running day rather than solely a competitive event. Following the race, local recommendations include visiting the Château d’Angers, which houses the Apocalypse Tapestry, exploring the Terra Botanica gardens, taking a Loire River cruise, or enjoying the UNESCO-listed Loire Valley and the Zoo de La Flèche for a family outing.
