La bacchus 2026

La Bacchus is a small French race series in Indre-et-Loire, with events in Artannes-sur-Indre and Montlouis-sur-Loire. The Artannes event is tied to the last weekend of October, featuring a Friday corrida and Sunday hikes, giving it the feel of a local sports weekend rather than a single start-and-finish race. The Artannes edition reaches its 10th anniversary, establishing a community history rather than a one-off feel. The organizers thank all participants and especially about 80 volunteers, indicating the scale and local backing behind the event. One line sums up its attitude: “Bacchus pluvieuse, Bacchus heureuse,” meaning a rainy Bacchus can still be a happy one.
