The event in a few words

Are you ready for a challenge? Lace up your sneakers and come take part in The Castel Race held in Châteauneuf-sur-Sarthe 🏃‍♂️. It’s the perfect opportunity to visit this charming little town in Maine-et-Loire, in Pays de la Loire, in France.

You can choose between a 12 km walk or two trail runs of 12 and 23 km in a setting that’s both natural and urban. You won’t believe the landscapes you’ll discover! And why not run the Castel Race for the trail and stay for the castle? 🏰

And that’s not all! After the effort comes the reward. You’ll be able to explore the Pays de la Loire region in more depth. Whether you’re with family or as a couple, here are a few activities you won’t want to miss:

  • Visit the Château de Brissac, the tallest in France, less than an hour’s drive away 🏰.
  • Taste Anjou wine in one of the many cellars in the region 🍷.
  • Take a boat trip on the Loire, Europe’s last wild river 🚣.
  • And for art lovers, don’t miss the Angers Museum of Fine Arts 🖼️.

So, ready to take on the challenge of The Castel Race? We’ll be waiting for you!
