Le Raid Côtellois 2027

Le Raid Côtellois is a 12 km night trail run in Pouillé-les-Côteaux, a village in Loire-Atlantique. Runners head out under the stars for a countryside run, with the focus on enjoying the effort rather than chasing a time. The format lets people run at their own pace, either solo or with friends, and the event is aimed at a broad field rather than only experienced trail runners. The route uses local paths, country roads, and field crossings around the commune, with about 150 meters of climbing. It is described as non-technical and accessible, though trail shoes are recommended because the ground can still be playful or uneven. The organizers lean into a relaxed village atmosphere: no stressful bib culture, no clock pressure, just shared running through the countryside. Food is available on site after the run, which makes it feel more like a local outing than a hard-edged race day.
