Rando des Jonquilles - Saint-Jean-la-Poterie 2027

Rando des Jonquilles takes place in mid-March in Saint-Jean-de-la-Poterie, Morbihan, offering distinct routes for mountain bikers, road cyclists, gravel riders, and walkers. It functions as a local randonnée, allowing participants to select their preferred format rather than a single race with a unified start and distance. The available routes include mountain biking from 16 to 52 km, walking from 6 to 21 km, gravel cycling from 55 to 90 km, and road cycling typically offering 55 km or 75 km options. The event originates from the Entente sportive cyclo VTT marche de Saint-Jean-La-Poterie, an association founded in 1977 initially for road cycling. Mountain biking was incorporated in the 1990s, followed by walking, which accounts for the event's current appeal to various outdoor enthusiasts beyond just road cyclists. Approximately 120 volunteers support the event on the day, and the modest entry fees contribute to its atmosphere as a community-driven ride rather than a commercial sports gathering.
