Le Roanne Trail Urbain

Le Roanne Trail Urbain is a night event held in Roanne, located in the Loire department of France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, typically taking place in mid-December. The event features short urban trail distances: an 8 km route and a 15 km route, with the 15 km being the more frequently chosen option. An 8 km walk is also offered. The event is untimed, making it suitable for those seeking a city run or walk after dark where the focus is not on the clock. The routes traverse the city itself, rather than mountainous or rural areas. Race descriptions mention illuminated streets and running beneath the stars within Roanne's center. Companies can form teams via the Défi Inter Entreprise, utilizing the 8 km route for Parcours 1 and the 15 km route for Parcours 2. The appeal lies in its straightforward format: two short trail distances, a walking option, and a winter evening atmosphere within the town.
