La taugonnaise 2026

La Taugonnaise begins and ends at the Salle des fêtes on rue des Hérons in Taugon, a village in Charente-Maritime within France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. This local October race day centers on short nature runs: adults can select approximately 7 km or 12 km, while children have 1 km and 2 km races divided by age group. The children compete first in the morning, and the adult races commence together at 10:00. The courses traverse a combination of roads and forest paths through Taugon and the neighboring Vix, giving the event a countryside feel rather than that of a city road race. Association La Taugonnaise is the organizer, with OK-TIME managing the timing. The race has now reached at least its sixth edition. Bib collection is available at the same practical location as the start and finish, both the evening before and on race morning. This arrangement accommodates families as well as club runners, as the schedule features short children’s races preceding the longer adult distances.
