La Cool et Verte - 25 km 2026

La Cool et Verte is a relaxed 25 km event in Allègre, Haute-Loire, held annually in spring or early summer. It is part of a larger local series that includes walking hikes, horse rides, canicross, trail running, bike and run, mountain biking, and road cycling, all focused on participation rather than competition. There is no timing or ranking; the aim is to spend time outdoors with friends or family rather than pursuing a specific result. The marked routes traverse Allègre and the surrounding countryside, featuring volcanic landscapes and local heritage. The event welcomes a diverse field: walkers, riders, runners, cyclists, families, and individuals primarily interested in the communal aspect. The event also has a strong charitable tradition, with most profits donated annually to solidarity projects, often supporting individuals with serious health issues or disabilities. Recent editions have attracted over a thousand participants and served hundreds of meals, highlighting its role as a community gathering.
