La Folle Nétéï 2027

Get ready for an unforgettable night of adventure and laughter at La Folle Néteï, taking place on January 9, 2027, in Hillion. This isn't just any trail race; it's a wild and whimsical event that combines the thrill of running with unexpected challenges and surprises.
The event offers two distances to choose from: Petite Néteï at 9 kilometers and Grande Néteï spanning 18 kilometers. Both routes start in the evening, with the shorter course kicking off at 6:15 PM and the longer one following shortly after at 6:45 PM.
As night falls over Hillion and its stunning Baie de Saint-Brieuc coastline, runners will navigate through a mix of countryside paths, dense forests, coastal trails, and even sections of the famous GR34 trail. The terrain is varied but challenging, with unexpected obstacles around every corner designed to test your limits—and perhaps make you laugh out loud.
Participants can expect to encounter bottes de paille (straw bales), filets et passages suspendus (net crossings), monkey bridges, a toboggan slide, and plenty of mud. The event is not just about running; it's also an opportunity for fun and camaraderie as you tackle these unique challenges with your fellow runners.
The course winds through some unusual locations in Hillion, including the picturesque Château des Marais park, complete with a small chapel, and culminates at the dance floor of a rural henhouse. These quirky settings add an extra layer of excitement to what is already an adrenaline-pumping experience.
Weather conditions can be unpredictable in January, so prepare for potential mud and rain. The organizers recommend wearing appropriate footwear that you don't mind getting dirty. After all, La Folle Néteï wouldn’t be complete without a generous dose of mud!
Upon crossing the finish line at Hillion's gymnasium, runners will enjoy a well-deserved break with hot soup, mulled wine, and other refreshments. The post-race celebration continues in an atmosphere that is both festive and welcoming.
All participants receive a complimentary galette-saucisse (a traditional savory crepe) along with a drink as part of their prize for completing the race.
To participate, pre-registration online only is required before January 9th, and all runners must complete the PPS (Health Prevention Pathway) form to obtain validation. Medical certificates are not accepted; however, athletic licenses are valid proof of fitness.
For minors wishing to join in on the fun, parental consent forms and completed medical questionnaires are necessary for entry.
La Folle Néteï promises a unique blend of physical challenge, laughter, and community spirit that is sure to make this New Year's start one you won't forget. So mark your calendars and prepare to embrace the madness!
