Short Trail of the Lespinasse Forest 2026

If you’re looking for a trail that smells of forest and adventure, the Short Trail of the Lespinasse Forest in Noailly ticks all the boxes—nature and fun included 🌲.

Here, you run (and breathe) in the heart of the woods, in this Loire that knows how to be wild while never being far from the warm welcome of the villages 🗺️.

You pick your format depending on your mood that day: 8.5 km to enjoy yourself without burning out, 17 km to savor it longer, or the 17 km relay if you want to share the effort and the laughs 🤝.

And the little extra that makes all the difference: there’s also a kids’ trail, perfect if you’re coming as a family and want to turn the outing into a real family moment 🧒.

After the finish, extend the fun just a stone’s throw from Noailly: go for a stroll in Roanne, settle in at Renaison to get some fresh air, or head to Saint-Jean-Saint-Maurice-sur-Loire for viewpoints that are well worth the detour; and if you want to cool off, Lake Villerest is perfect for a walk along the water’s edge! ☀️
