ChaveyNo'Z Tour 2027

The ChaveyNo'Z Tour is a road race held in late March in Chaveyriat, a village in the Ain department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in eastern France. Located between the Dombes and Bresse regions, it provides three course options: 7.31 km, 11.64 km, and 21.3 km, allowing participants to select anything from a brief early-season run to a half-marathon distance. The courses utilize a blend of small roads and local paths with minimal elevation changes: 40 meters of gain for the 7.31 km route, 50 meters for the 11.64 km route, and 106 meters for the 21.3 km route. The event's name originates from a combination of Chanoz-Châtenay and Chaveyriat, and the organizers incorporate wordplay around “Chava,” including references to the race having “a nose,” causing leg fatigue, and generating energy.
