Immerse yourself in the scenic viticulture of the Loire region at the Sentiers des Vignes 2026, organized by the Racing Club Nantais on Saturday, April 4, 2026. Set against the vibrant backdrop of the Plan d'eau du Chêne in Saint Julien de Concelles, this event offers a diverse range of nature trails through the rolling hills and vineyards of Divatte-sur-Loire and Le Loroux Bottereau. Competitors can select from three main distances: a fast-paced 12km Nature loop ideal for trail newcomers, a completely redesigned 23km course that climbs through the heart of the wine country, and a grueling 31km challenge for seasoned endurance athletes, featuring a strict time limit at the 21km mark. The event is a family affair, hosting free youth races (800m and 1km) to inspire the next generation of runners. With participation strictly capped—250 for the 12km, 300 for the 23km, and 150 for the 31km—the atmosphere remains intimate and community-focused. Please note that no on-site registrations are permitted; athletes must secure their bibs in advance via Timepulse. Whether you are aiming for a podium finish in the "Valley of the Vineyards" or simply looking to enjoy the local Muscadet landscapes, the Sentiers des Vignes provides a professional, FFA-sanctioned racing environment with the warm hospitality of the Nantes region. Don't forget to validate your PPS (Health Course Pass) or FFA license before the March 30th registration deadline.
