Boucles Saint-Jeandaires - Saint-Jean-Bonnefonds 2027

The Trail Saint-Jeandaire begins and ends at the Jean Tardy stadium in Saint-Jean-Bonnefonds, a town in the Loire department near Saint-Etienne. The event evolved from Les Boucles Saint-Jeandaires and now takes place annually as a nature race, offering timed 7 km and 17 km options. Both races are single-stage runs completed at each runner’s own pace, but they include time limits and strict cut-off points. The courses consist of approximately half unpaved paths, making it more of a trail run than a road race, yet not an ultra-distance mountain event. The shorter race is suitable for newer runners or those seeking a quick local run, while the longer route provides club runners and regular trail runners with more distance. Previous event details indicate variations in distances, including routes around 16 km and 18 km, along with mentions of longer relay-style options, suggesting the event has maintained a adaptable local-race character. ATOUSPORTS is the organizer, providing aid stations and changing rooms at the venue.
