Trail De Lavault-Sainte-Anne Et Montluçon Communauté - Lavault Sainte Anne 2027

Trail de Lavault-Sainte-Anne et Montluçon Communauté is a winter trail-running weekend held at La Charité in Lavault-Sainte-Anne, near Montluçon in central France. Organised by ADELL and Montluçon Communauté, the programme focuses on natural terrain courses: paths, stream beds, forest single track, and off-trail sections form the route. The series includes short discovery runs, canicross, kids' trails, night running, walking hikes, mountain-bike outings, and longer trail races with significant climbing. The main trail options range from 16 km to 32 km, with the Raid des Gorges du Cher covering 32 km and approximately 1100 m of elevation gain. Other named races are La Balade à Paulo, La Grimpette de la Buse, and La Noctambule, a 12 km night event. The courses traverse the Haut-Cher gorges, a Natura 2000 area, meaning the terrain is wooded, uneven, and varied. The event also offers options for families and non-runners with 1 km, 2.5 km, and 4.5 km kids' trails, 6 km and 10 km walks, and 20 km or 35 km mountain-bike hikes. One euro from each entry supports the association Les papillons.
