Trail des 3 Provinces

The Trail des 3 Provinces invites athletes to experience the unique blend of history and natural beauty around Clisson on September 18 and 19, 2026. On Friday night, participants can take part in two nocturnal events at Hellcity: a 12-kilometer run called L’Étoile and a march nordique event named Métal.
The trail runs through the heart of Clisson’s historic center after dark, offering runners an enchanting view of landmarks such as the Garenne Valentin, the Viaduc de la Trinité, and the Château. The route closely follows both Sèvre Nantaise and Moine rivers, providing a serene backdrop for this night-time adventure.
On Saturday, four distinct trail races will start from Warzone: L'Enfer des vignes (60 km), Poitou (29 km), Anjou (18 km), and Bretagne (11 km). These courses are designed to showcase the scenic beauty of Clisson’s vineyards and riverbanks. Runners can choose between one, two, or three loops, allowing them multiple opportunities to receive support from cheering spectators.
The longest loop covers 31 kilometers through the historic center of Clisson, including its picturesque bridges and chateau grounds before skirting along Sèvre Nantaise up to Boussay. The second loop stretches for 18 kilometers around Gorges, featuring charming villages and a paper mill by Chaintreau stream. Lastly, the shortest route is an 11-kilometer exploration through Clisson’s vineyards followed by Moine riverbank.
Participation in this event not only offers runners challenging courses but also supports charitable causes. A €1 donation from each participant on Friday will be given to VAINCRE LE CHORDOME, a foundation dedicated to fighting chordoma cancer. On Saturday, another €1 per runner will go towards O MA VIE, an association that provides new experiences for children in need.
