Babybel Cyclosportive & running 2027

And vrooooom, here we go! 💨 In the heart of the city of Évron, do you know what there is? 🤔 Well yes, the Bel-Babybel factory, among other things, but above all there’s the Babybel Cyclosportive & running! 🤩 Yes, yes, yes, you read that right: Babybel is going to headline a running race and a bike race, right in its home town 📍. Now that’s classy 😎. We almost forgot a crunchy detail—we’re sure you’ll be free! 🙃 Why? Because Monday, May 17 is the famous Whit Monday (yes, yes, you can count, it really is 7 weeks after Easter 🐣). So if we recap: a 3-day weekend, and a splendid race organized right in the middle of the year 🗓️. Plus, in the middle of May, the weather will be on your side! 🕺 On the running side, you can take on a 5 km, double down with a 10 km or even test your limits on a 21 km 🏃‍♀️. Along well-marked routes, you’ll pass alongside the city’s beautiful monuments, for a lively and electric race 🎉. Riders, meanwhile, can test themselves on gravel or tarmac over short, long or intermediate distances 🛣️.

Right in the heart of Mayenne, Évron and its surroundings will be showcased by the event ✨. With a guaranteed sunset, the colors in the sky will take you back to childhood, just like that good cheese you used to eat 🧀. We do hope that even as an adult you still enjoy it, because Ba-by-bel is time-less 🫵. Taking on the 5 km, you’ll quickly realize this road race will be fast and smooth, with only 13 m D+! 🧘‍♀️ Along the way, you’ll pass near the Basilica, the Notre-Dame Abbey and of course the factory itself! 🔴 But hold yourself back—don’t jump inside to grab some 🤣. The 10 km is nothing more complicated, simply twice the 5 km loop. With these two routes, no stress: pro, amateur, or Sunday runner, you’re welcome 🤗. For the 21 km, you’ll need to tighten your belt a bit more 🪢. The half-marathon is still a legendary distance that requires endurance and mental strength 🧠. Get your thighs ready to chase the clock. You can also count on the generosity of the organizers 🎁: in addition to your bib you’ll get a Babybel-branded T-shirt and goodies! 🛍️ You’ll also get a finisher medal at the end 🏅—promise it won’t be molded from the wax of all the Babybels you’ve swallowed! 😋

Given how addictive these little cheeses are, you’ll probably want to keep the party going 🎉. Well then, get ready to spend another 2 days with them! 😎 On Saturday and Sunday, the cyclosportive takes over, with on the program: Gravel, cycling 🚲, and above all Babybels galore! For both disciplines, you can choose between a “long route”, a “medium route” and a “short route”. On tarmac, that gives 3 events of 139 km with 1,664 m D+ 📈, 111 km with 1,435 m D+ and 75 km with 965 m D+. In short, fairly rolling routes that will still make you work your cardio on the climbs and descents ⛰️. A two-wheeled ride is also planned for those who want to enjoy the scenery of the Pays de la Loire even while pushing hard 😍. Word has it you’ll find a pretty (baby)bel view there 🤪. For the Gravel events, you’ll have to deal with distances of 108 km, 61 km and 42 km. The kids will also have their very own event, to ride a balance bike as fast as they devour the little round cheeses 💨.

Évron, Évron, we’re coming home from work! After all that effort, you’ll definitely need to rest at some point! 💤 You can head to one of the most beautiful villages in France: Sainte-Suzanne 📍, just 10 minutes by car. It’s a medieval village in the Coëvrons, full of history and super charming 🏰, and it’ll give your legs a break after your effort. If you’re into history, you’re in for a treat: the Prehistory Museum and its prehistoric caves will take you back in time! ⬅️ It’s probably starting to rumble, so let us introduce you to the region’s gastronomy 😋. How could you miss the Mayenne tourte 🥧, born from a competition between two chefs—it truly deserves its reputation! 🤤 If you’re more in the mood for something sweet, the Mayenne petits-beurre will be perfect 🍪. Above all, don’t hesitate to fill your pockets with Babybel, to enjoy them anytime 👀.

Come on, bring your baby or your bel, and take part in this sports party that promises to be tasty! 🤌
