Trail des Côtes Matras - Noyant-d'Allier 2027

Trail des Côtes Matras is a small trail-running event held in Noyant d'Allier, offering loop courses of 7 km, 16 km, and 30 km. The 7 km course is also available as a non-timed option, allowing participants to run without competitive pressure. The event also includes two walks, 7 km and 15 km, and a 7 km guided walk focusing on the mining history of Châtillon and Noyant. The courses follow established footpaths and feature ascents rather than flat terrain. The 16 km and 30 km routes go by the Belvédère des Côtes Matras, providing expansive views of the Bourbonnaise countryside and surrounding hills. VILLAGES VIVANTS organizes the event, which maintains a local village atmosphere: bib collection takes place in central Noyant d'Allier, and the evening meal is an Asian dinner prepared by Le Petit d'Asie, the local Vietnamese restaurant.
