Les Foulées du Mingot is a late-January race day in Cugand, Vendée, France, featuring forest and nature courses instead of a city-road feel. Runners can select from 10 km, 17 km, 27 km, or 37 km, and walkers have Nordic walking options over 10 km and 17 km. The longest race is La Spéciale, and the 17 km is the most popular distance.
Each listed distance uses a single-loop course, with the event structured around one circuit per race rather than repeated laps. The fields are solid for a local trail event: the previous edition had over 400 participants on the 17 km, over 300 on the 10 km, and over 300 on the 37 km. The combination of trail running, Nordic walking, and shorter nature-course options suits both committed trail runners and those seeking a winter outing in the woods.
