About this race
Ultra Trail la Mayenne is an 85 km trail race along the towpath between Mayenne and Daon in western France. Participants can run the full distance solo or as a relay. The event emphasizes a long, practical endurance day rather than a mountain ultra. Mandatory kit is required, and aid stations are cup-free, requiring runners to carry their own drinking container.
The route follows the old riverside haulage path, creating a distinct point-to-point course between the two Mayenne towns. Its first edition attracted 550 runners, a solid number for a local ultra. The organizing association is Le son de vie. Race profits benefit Deux rayons de soleil, a charity supporting twins with cerebral palsy, and the departmental Handisport committee.
