Les 35èmes foulées de Bussière-Poitevine 2027

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Val-d'Oire-et-Gartempe, Les Foulées de Bussière-Poitevine invites runners and walkers to explore its scenic trails on March 21, 2027. The event features a variety of distances to cater to all levels of participants, from seasoned athletes to casual enthusiasts.
The main race kicks off at 9:30 AM with a challenging yet rewarding 20-kilometer route that takes runners through both asphalt and dirt paths along the Gartempe riverbank, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. A more relaxed but equally scenic option is the 18-kilometer course starting just ten minutes later at 9:40 AM, which follows a natural trail with sections alongside the picturesque Gartempe.
For those looking for something less strenuous, there's also a family-friendly march event beginning at 9:45 AM covering approximately 10 kilometers. Meanwhile, young athletes can participate in fun and competitive races designed specifically for children starting at 3 PM at the local leisure area.
Participants will enjoy pre-race activities such as bib collection from 7 AM onwards followed by on-site registrations until capacity is reached. Post-event festivities include a results announcement beginning at noon, complete with refreshments like a wine reception to celebrate everyone’s achievements. A hearty meal served in Salle Polyvalente Jacques Brel adds to the festive atmosphere.
All finishers receive a commemorative gift, and top performers across various categories earn special prizes including European Marathon tickets drawn by lottery for one lucky winner. Children's races offer trophies and medals to make their day even more memorable.
