Corrida Ancenis 2026

Corrida Ancenis is a nighttime urban road race in Ancenis-Saint-Gereon, organized by ACPA and the Ancenis town hall. Participants begin from the castle courtyard in the early evening, selecting between 5.5 km and 11 km distances. The longer race involves one or two circuits of the city course. This event marks its sixth year, with a limit of 650 participants across all distances. Registration is exclusively online. The finish line is located on the town hall square, offering participants hot wine, hot chocolate, and other beverages post-race. Music is provided along the route, and costumes are encouraged, with awards for the best dressed. A portion of each entry fee supports the Telethon, positioning the race as both a local festive occasion and a standard timed event. The 5.5 km race is open to those aged 15 and older, while the 11 km requires participants to be 16 or older. Both distances necessitate a medical certificate or license during registration.
