Les 10 km du poinconnet
Les 10 km du Poinçonnet is a small French road-running event in Le Poinçonnet, a town south of Châteauroux in the Indre department of Centre-Val de Loire. It is typically scheduled for late September and offers two race options: a 10 km road race and a 5 km event named Envolée rose 5 km. Both distances are single-loop, meaning runners complete one circuit. The race is organized by La Berrichonne Châteauroux Athlétic Club, and a recent edition had over 200 participants. Le Poinçonnet is part of the Châteauroux urban area and is located in the Boischaut Sud region, with the Châteauroux state forest covering much of the municipality. The course record is 29:27, set by Mohamed Benyettou when the previous mark was broken. One later edition was cancelled and substituted by the Century 21 Urban Run in nearby Châteauroux, linking the event's recent history to the local running scene beyond Le Poinçonnet.
