La Martinoyenne 2027

La Martinoyenne starts from Saint-Martin-des-Noyers, a village in the Vendée, and sends runners and walkers into the countryside around Lac de la Vouraie. It is a nature-focused charity event with forest paths at its core, usually held in late winter rather than in the busy summer race season. The programme gives walkers 8 km, 13 km, and 17 km options, while trail runners can choose 10 km, 15 km, 21 km, or 34 km. The longest route adds about 500 meters of climbing, so it is a proper trail outing without being an ultra. People come for a low-key day in the woods, with the choice of a short walk, a runnable trail, or a tougher loop through the surrounding Vendée countryside.
