Grand Trail of Lake Sillé 2026

Craving a trail that smells of the forest and adventure around the water 😊. The Grand Trail of Lake Sillé, in Sillé-le-Guillaume in Sarthe, takes you on nature-themed paths, between lakes, ponds, and undergrowth of the Pays de la Loire 😄!

No matter your level, you'll find your playground 😎. The Ronde du Chevreuil 8 km for a clean effort, to work on your VMA with bursts, and finish with a smile 😁! Discovering Sillé by Night 15 km, is the combo of headlamp + sensations, perfect for learning to manage pacing in a nighttime ambiance 🌙!

You want a “lumberjack” format but smartly 😅. The Loop of the Stag 24 km lets you strategize, manage nutrition, footing, and attempt a negative split if you're feeling strong 😃. And if you like progressive challenges, the 2-race challenges 15+8 or 15+24 turn your weekend into a mini training camp, with recovery and “second day” legs management 💪!

For long-distance enthusiasts 🤩! The Maratrail of the Stag 44 km puts you in a real ultra-short mindset, pacing, refreshment, and mental strength 🧠. And if you want the XXL adventure, the Tour of the Mancelles Alps 90 km is there to reach the finish that counts, the one that makes you say “stag, I did it” 😮!

After the race, enjoy yourself within less than an hour 🙂. Stroll with family around Lake Sillé and its viewpoints, perfect for active recovery 🚶. Le Mans for a visit to the 24 Hours Museum and a lap on the circuit, keeping the “endurance” spirit alive 🏁. Alençon to wander the city center and discover the Basilica of Notre-Dame, ideal for couples 🏛️. Or head to the Mancelles Alps for a lovely nature spot, picnic, and photos, letting your calves rest 📸.

You come for a race number, you leave with an experience 😌. So, are you more of a chevreuil, cerf... or definitely a maratrail 😏?
