Urban Montlouis Trail 2027

The Urban Montlouis Trail is a short urban trail race in Montlouis-sur-Loire, a Loire River town near Tours in Indre-et-Loire. It is run in April, when the weather can still be cool, and the main race is a 9 km effort through the town rather than a long countryside trail. The format is simple: a hard, compact run that uses the streets and local terrain to show Montlouis from a runner’s point of view. The route goes through narrow lanes, stairs, and climbs, with sections tied to the town’s old streets, heritage, and the Loire-side setting. The main 9 km race is for runners over 15, while a free children’s race gives younger kids their own event. The race is still young, with one listing describing it as only its second edition, so it feels more like a local community trail than a large established fixture.
