The Firestarter 2026

With The Firestarter, you come to set your craving for nature ablaze… without burning up the planet 🔥.

Head to La Ferté-Macé, in the Orne, in the heart of a lush Normandy that has a knack for making you forget the clock and love every turn 🌿.

Pick your format depending on your mood of the day: 7.5 km to really treat yourself, 4.5 km for a quick, punchy thrill, or 2.4 km if you want to share the adventure with your dog in a duo with a nose for it mode 🐾.

And if you come as a tribe, it’s even better: there are kids’ & juniors’ courses, plenty to spark the flame in the youngest ones while you feast on the trails 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦.

After the effort, stick around and make the fun last: a stroll around Lake La Ferté-Macé, a cool-down break at the Leisure center, a little loop through town for a well-deserved terrace, and if you want to go a bit further, set your sights on Bagnoles-de-l’Orne for a chic, relaxing stroll 🧭.

You’ll head home with happy calves, a clear head, and the feeling you’ve lived a real sporty getaway… just waiting to be reignited next year ✨.
