La Panadière 2027

La Panadière is a mid-March trail race held in Villemaur-sur-Vanne, within the commune of Aix-Villemaur-Pâlis in Aube, Grand Est, close to Troyes. Participants can select either a 10 km race or the 5 km Joël D'Oria race. Both are single-loop trail events, with the 5 km also described locally as two laps around the village. The 10 km is the established event, having completed over a dozen editions, while the 5 km Joël D'Oria is a more recent addition. The race functions as an early-season local event for runners in Aube, and local sources identify it as the department's first outdoor race of the year. The most recent edition attracted over 100 participants, and the 10 km features intermediate sprints and awards. The event also includes a unique family component: a drawing competition for children up to age 12, with winning artwork used for future race posters.
