La Moine Express 2026

Immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the Semi-Nocturne Run, an enchanting race set to take place on October 9th, 2026. This event offers runners a choice between two distances: an 8.5 km solo or duo loop and a more challenging 17 km option that doubles the distance with either one runner completing both loops alone or teams switching up for the final stretch.
The race starts in front of ASPTT Cholet's complex on Rue de l'Osier, where participants will embark on an illuminated journey through nature along La Moine. The course is designed to challenge runners while offering scenic views and a peaceful environment under the moonlight. Each participant must carry a headlamp for safety.
The event features two points of hydration and refreshment: one mid-way point along the route and another comprehensive station at the finish line where participants can enjoy hot meals, crepes, and drinks. For spectators including friends and family members, there's an animated village area set up with live music, speakers, and barbecue options.
Post-race amenities include toilets and showers for runners to freshen up after their efforts. Additionally, a secure locker facility is provided for storing personal belongings during the race.
Registration closes on September 30th at midnight, so make sure you sign up early to reserve your spot in this unforgettable semi-nocturnal adventure.
This event promises an engaging and supportive community atmosphere, perfect for both seasoned runners looking for a unique challenge or those seeking their first experience with night running conditions.
