La Coublandine by Night offers three night trail races beginning at the Hall des Loisirs in Coublanc, situated on the border of the Côte Roannaise and Beaujolais regions. Participants can select from a 6.5 km course with 250 m of elevation gain, a 14 km course with 530 m, or a 25 km course with 950 m. Even the shortest option presents a challenging evening run with significant climbs.
The 25 km race commences first, with the 6.5 km and 14 km races starting shortly thereafter. The Running Club de Coublanc organizes this event, now in its tenth year, utilizing the established circuits. The 14 km route also includes a pre-registered canicross event, facilitated by Loire Nord Canisports, meaning some participants will be accompanied by dogs. Following the races, all participants receive hot soup, and the refreshment bar will be open during the awards ceremony at the sports hall.
