Hermitrail 2026

Looking for a race that mixes city, nature, forest and a touch of castles without overthinking it? The Hermitrail in Château-Renault, in Indre-et-Loire (Centre-Val de Loire), is exactly that little cocktail that makes you come “just to see”… and come back to treat yourself again 🏰.

Format-wise, you choose your adventure: 6 km for a quick feel-good run, 9 km (there are several—perfect if you’re coming with friends and everyone wants their own dose), or 21 km to tell yourself a real story from start to finish, without getting bored for a second ⛰️.

And come on, admit it: running in Château-Renault is already a plan in itself… “Château” in the name sets the bar, and you clear it with a smile (promise, pun almost officially approved)! 😄

After the finish line, don’t rush off: swing by Château-Renault town center to unwind, head over to Villedômer for a peaceful stroll, or treat yourself to a getaway to Amboise and the Château d’Amboise if you want to extend the royal scenery—without forgetting Montlouis-sur-Loire for a riverside break and an end of day to savor 🍷.
