Courir à Meslay 2026

On October 18, 2026, the 21st edition of "Run at Meslay" invites runners to explore the picturesque landscapes of this charming village. The race offers both an individual and relay (two-person) semi-marathon option for those looking to challenge themselves over a measured distance.
Nature enthusiasts will also have the opportunity to participate in the Super U 4th Edition, which includes a super trail run covering approximately 16 kilometers. Additionally, there is a shorter route of around 7 miles open to all participants.
Registration and number pickup take place at the Super U store in Meslay-sur-Loire on Saturday from 2 to 6 PM, catering to both semi-marathon enthusiasts and those taking part in the trail run or walk. Early morning dossard pick-up is available for the race starting times of Sunday from 7:30 AM to 9 AM at the start/finish area.
This event welcomes runners of all levels, with mandatory current FFA (French Federation of Athletics) licenses required for those competing in full races. Importantly, medical certificates are no longer needed and will not be accepted.
Proceeds from one euro per participant’s race number will support the Ligue Contre le Cancer, a leading French cancer research charity dedicated to fighting against this disease through scientific advancements and patient care improvements.
Join us on October 18 for an unforgettable run amidst Meslay's natural beauty. Whether you're training for your next big challenge or simply enjoying a scenic day out, there’s something here just for you in the heart of rural France.
The course will wind through rolling hills and lush forests, offering breathtaking views at every turn. The atmosphere is vibrant with local support from spectators cheering on participants as they navigate the challenging yet rewarding terrain.
