The Urban Trail de Flers guides participants through sections of Flers typically bypassed by road races. These include the grounds of the Château de Flers, public structures, stairways, streets, and unpaved trails. This city trail race, held in Orne and organized by the Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin school group, offers running distances suitable for various abilities, with the 8 km and 15 km events commencing from Place Saint-Germain. The event also accommodates walkers and cani-rando participants.
The route is designed for exploring Flers alongside the race itself. Competitors will navigate a mix of asphalt, urban pathways, green areas, and historical locations, crossing segments usually off-limits to runners. Organizers have focused on maintaining a smooth and secure course. This event also serves a charitable purpose, with provisions and funds gathered directed to Restos du cœur, a French organization providing food assistance to those in need.
