The Parc de la Rivière trail run is a small event held at the Étang in Parc de la Rivière, Étival-lès-le-Mans, Sarthe, France. It features two race distances, 11 km and 16 km, both starting at 9:15 AM. An 11 km walk is also available for those who prefer to enjoy the outdoor setting without competing. Foulées d'Etival organizes the event, with online registration through Klikego and on-site sign-ups for walkers.
The course follows paths through Étival and neighboring communes, presenting a local trail run rather than a flat road race. The organizer indicates natural variations in difficulty, implying varied terrain and sections. Entry fees are reasonable, with discounts for FFA-licensed runners, and the walking option is very affordable. As a first-edition event, its appeal lies in a relaxed community race centered on the park and local trails, offering a choice between running 11 km, running 16 km, or walking the shorter distance.
