Corrida de Maillezais

Corrida de Maillezais invites runners to the picturesque town of Maillezais on January 3, 2027. Situated in southwestern France near the marshy wetlands and ancient forests of Marais Poitevin, this event offers two scenic routes: a 5 km run and a longer 12 km course.
The shorter distance is ideal for runners looking to enjoy a brisk morning jog through Maillezais's charming streets lined with historic architecture. The route weaves around the town’s central square before venturing into nearby green spaces, providing participants with an intimate view of local life in this quaint French village.
For those seeking more mileage and a challenge, the 12 km course offers a broader exploration of the area. This longer run takes runners out beyond Maillezais's city limits to experience the serene landscapes that define the region. The terrain is mostly flat but includes some gentle undulations as you pass through lush meadows and along winding paths.
Registration for both distances can be done on-site, making it convenient for last-minute decisions or spontaneous participation. Additionally, there are options available for children's races, encouraging young athletes to join in the fun and excitement of this community event.
Corrida de Maillezais is not just a race but an opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture while enjoying some of France’s most beautiful natural settings.
Participants can expect warm hospitality from locals as they celebrate their shared passion for running. Whether you’re looking for a casual jog or a more challenging run, Corrida de Maillezais offers something for everyone interested in exploring this charming corner of France on January 3, 2027.
