Rack-and-pinion race 2026

The Rack-and-pinion race is your nature rendezvous in Langres, perched on its ramparts like a real fortress… and you’re here to take it on with a smile 😄.

On the program: a 9 km format that’s perfect for treating yourself without overthinking it, weaving between paths, greenery, and lovely breakaways over Haute-Marne—with that “wow, it’s beautiful here” feeling that comes back often 🏞️.

And if you come as a tribe, the kids’ race gets everyone in the mood: each person their own adventure, each person their little victory, and you head home with a pumped-up squad of supporters 🎉.

The best part is after: you wind down with a stroll along the ramparts of Langres, take a detour to the Saint-Mammès Cathedral, wander around Place Diderot, and treat yourself to a break at the Lac de la Liez just nearby… a way to go from “rack-and-pinion” to “sunscreen” if the sun shows up ☀️.

Want a simple plan: come for the big breath of fresh air, leave with your head full of images, and tell yourself that Langres may climb, but it’s well worth the detour 🧭.
