Fresn'Urban Trail 2027

Fresn'Urban Trail is a mid-February urban trail race in Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, a small town in the Sarthe department in the northeast of Pays de la Loire. Runners choose either 5 km or 10 km, with the longer race repeating the same 5 km loop twice. February is significant: organizers advise runners to dress warmly, marking this as a winter event rather than a mild spring road race. The route guides runners through the streets of Fresnay-sur-Sarthe, near the Alpes Mancelles, an area local trail runners know well. The town is a petite cite de caractere and was named France's second favorite village in a public ranking associated with Stephane Bern. The event is aimed at a broad audience, offering a family-friendly atmosphere, an authentic local setting, and distance options for both shorter efforts and those completing the full 10 km.
