La Galoupadenn des Timouns 2027

La Galoupadenn des Timouns is a trail and walking event held in early January in Guingamp, Côtes-d'Armor, Brittany. It features two race distances, 8 km and 12 km, and a 12 km walk. The routes are designed for various skill levels, not exclusively for experienced trail runners. The 12 km trail, the larger option, had over 500 participants in the last edition. The 8 km race, known as La Kreyol, saw more than 300 runners. The routes incorporate stadium, town, forest, natural terrain, paths, and riverbanks, offering participants a varied local course instead of a lengthy road loop. Organized by Solidarité pour les timouns d'Haïti, the event is part of the Challenge de la Solidarité. Proceeds benefit an orphanage for children affected by the Haiti earthquake, with additional donations supporting PICA and cystic fibrosis research. The 12 km walk, which had over 100 participants last year, is also a component of the day's activities.
