Chestnut Trail 2027

The Chestnut Trail is your invitation to come and treat yourself in Ardèche, in Saint-Genest-Lachamp, where nature opens its arms to you and every path has a little taste of adventure 🌰.

Here, you run in an authentic atmosphere: woodland trails, playful terrain, big lungfuls of fresh air, and that rare feeling of truly being “somewhere else,” right near home 🏞️.

You pick your format depending on how you feel that day: 10 km to enjoy yourself without leaving too much in the tank, 20 km to treat yourself to a great getaway, 42 km to go after a day you’ll remember for a long time, and children’s races to bring the whole tribe along (and give them a taste for the trails) 🧒.

The guiding thread is simple: you move forward, you breathe, you have fun… and you let the chestnut trees remind you that you came for pleasure, not to do ego math 😄!

And after the effort, you extend the journey just a stone’s throw from the start: a stroll toward Valgorge for that Ardèche valley vibe, a detour through Joyeuse to wander the little streets, a trip to Largentière for its character and its stones, or a getaway to the Bois de Païolive for a magical walk among rocks and oaks… perfect as a couple or with the family ⛪.

If you want a race that combines nature, friendliness, and a real breath of disconnection, you’re in the right place—and so are your running shoes 🥾.
