Get ready for the 13th edition of La Printanière on April 12, 2026, organized by USTcyclisme. This year, the event embraces a fresh start by moving to the stunning Manoir de la Coquerie in Querqueville (Cherbourg-en-Cotentin). This move introduces brand-new, fully marked circuits across all disciplines, including mountain biking (VTT/Gravel), walking, and trail running. Notably, the trail races return to a classic single-loop format, moving away from previous lap systems. True to its "DNA," La Printanière remains a festive, family-friendly, and charitable event, with a significant portion of the proceeds supporting organizations like "Rêves Manche." Join us from 08:00 AM for a vibrant day of sport and solidarity in the heart of the Cotentin peninsula.
