Discover the secret pathways and rustic charm of rural Mayenne at the Trail Les Petits Pas in Gennes sur Glaize on March 1, 2026. This quintessentially local event invites runners into the heart of the French countryside on a unique, non-timed 25km loop that winds through private properties, past historic châteaux, and along hidden pedestrian trails known only to the community. With a full menu of distances including an 11km trail, a 4km family discovery run, and even a sold-out cani-cross, the day offers a perfect, muddy adventure for every level of trail enthusiast. The atmosphere is one of grassroots authenticity and convivial fun, complete with a team/family challenge where the prize is a celebratory crate of local beer.
More than just a race, it's a true insider's tour of the region's pastoral beauty, where the emphasis is on participation, discovery, and shared enjoyment rather than the clock. The event embodies the spirit of "small steps" with big heart, providing an affordable and welcoming introduction to trail running for families and newcomers. It’s an invitation to lace up your mud-ready shoes, embrace the unpredictable conditions, and experience the genuine warmth and hidden treasures of village trail running in France.
