About this race
Trail du Freego is a winter trail event held in Montfaucon-Montigné, a commune in Maine-et-Loire, western France. Participants can select from 8 km, 16 km, or 25 km distances, accommodating both those seeking a brief local run and individuals aiming for a more extensive trail excursion. The event is scheduled for late January or early February, aligning with its playful slogan: “N’est pas Froid aux Yeux !” — translating to roughly, not afraid of the cold.
The course crosses both the town and surrounding green areas, distinguishing it from a pure forest trail or a road race with a trail designation. The shorter distance offers an accessible option for novice runners, while the 16 km and 25 km routes provide greater challenges for experienced trail runners. Available information suggests a welcoming local gathering rather than a large-scale urban event, with its primary attractions being the winter timing, the variety of distances, and the mixed terrain course.
