The Courir au Pays de Craon race concludes the Craon fair weekend. UPAC Craon organizes this event annually on the first Sunday of October, positioning it as a concluding activity of a local fair rather than an independent race day.
The course remains near the town, utilizing Craon's streets and the vicinity of the Mûrier pond. This design provides a contained, local atmosphere, with participants running between the town center and the pond, amidst the fair-goers already gathered for the weekend's festivities.
