La Fardilliere Course Nature des 3 Gues

La Fardilliere is a nature race in Villiers-au-Bouin, set in the local countryside and along the village’s two rivers, La Fare and L’ardilliere. The name is a portmanteau of these two rivers: La Fare is a first-category stream, approximately 37 km long and 3 to 5 meters wide, while L’ardilliere is its main tributary. Participants can select from 6 km, 10 km, or 19 km distances, with a 1 km children’s race available for ages 6 to 12. The 19 km route is oriented towards trail running, while the 6 km and 10 km options are medium-difficulty runs. The courses are designed to highlight the surrounding countryside and the flowered village, with aid stations provided along the way. The event attracts a few hundred participants, and top finishers are awarded trophies and gift vouchers.
