On August 29, 2026, cyclists will have the rare opportunity to experience cycling history firsthand at the Cyclo Morbihan Ouest-France. Just like the Paris-Roubaix Challenge, this unique race allows participants to ride on legendary routes before professional riders take over later in the day. The event offers a high-quality setup that captures the essence of Plouay's prestigious 4 Jours de Dunkerque classic cycling competition. Cyclists will traverse key sections of World Tour circuits, following in the footsteps of professionals who have made these roads famous through their feats and battles for supremacy. Participants are provided with excellent support throughout the ride. A lead car clears the way, a sweep vehicle ensures no one is left behind, and safety motorcycles keep everyone safe on the route. The organization also includes precise signage, accurate timing systems, and comprehensive aid stations along the course to ensure riders' needs are met at every turn. The Cyclo Morbihan Ouest-France starts from the Boulevard des Championnats du Monde in Plouay. Cyclists can choose between two competitive distances or a more leisurely route: - Cyclosportive (Chronométrée) - Departure 9:00 AM Riders will compete on timed sections, with rankings based on performances at the Moulin Tallen and Côte de Marta sectors. The longer distance covers 118 km with a total elevation gain of 1763 meters; the shorter route spans 93 km with an ascent of 1386 meters. - Cyclo-Rando - Departure 9:15 AM Cyclists can enjoy the scenic beauty and historical significance of Morbihan at their own pace without the pressure of competition. The longer option is a 118-kilometer route with an elevation gain of 1763 meters, while shorter options include 93 km (1386 m D+) or 62 km (737 m D+). Participants must adhere strictly to traffic regulations and ride responsibly on open roads. This event is not only a chance for cyclists to test their skills but also an opportunity to experience the rich cycling heritage of Plouay. Whether you're aiming for top times in timed sections or simply enjoying a leisurely tour, the Cyclo Morbihan Ouest-France offers something special for every type of cyclist.
