Le Trail du Parc Balsan is a trail event held in mid-October in Châteauroux, located in the Indre department of France’s Centre-Val de Loire region. Participants can choose from several race options: a 16 km trail for teams of four, an 18 km solo race, an 18 km duo option, and courses for children and juniors.
The primary adult routes are centered around 18 km of trail running, with the 18 km race being the most frequently chosen option. Some race formats accommodate pairs or teams of four, indicating the event caters to more than just solo participants. The organizer also provides one or more children’s courses, positioning it as a community race day rather than solely a single-distance trail event.
