Church steeple races 2027

If you like it when nature rings your bell (gently), the Courses des clochers in Bouglainval is going to speak to you 🔔.

Here, you come looking for green, calm, and that little thrill when the path dives into the forest and everything else fades away 🌲.

You choose your adventure: 5 km to treat yourself fully without sacrificing your Sunday, or 10 km to take the time to savor the surges, the nature sections, and that moment when you think “ok, I feel good here” 🥾.

Local guide tip: show up wanting to look up as much as you want to move forward, because between the steeples and the trails, Bouglainval knows how to set you back on your feet. And come on… a “church steeple” race sounds better than a “I’m just going for a little run” outing 😄.

After the effort, stick around to turn the run into a mini getaway: take a trip to Chartres and its cathedral, go for a stroll around Maintenon and its castle, or go breathe on the trails of the nearby Parc naturel régional du Perche ☀️.
