The event in a few words

Want a race that mixes timing and good vibes 😊. The Kilometers of Thirst in Ancenis is the perfect event to enjoy a road race, with a festive atmosphere and a cheering crowd! 🔥

You choose your format: 8 km, 12 km or the 8 km walk lets you share the event in a relaxed mode, without pressure 🌿.

The road terrain is ideal for playing with paces: gradual warm-up, controlled start, clean resumption, and a finale where you can give it your all! 💥 And admit it, “thirst” must be earned... but most importantly, it must be savored 🍻.

After the finish, enjoy Ancenis and its surroundings to extend the pleasure: a stroll at the Château d’Ancenis and along the Loire river 🌊. A natural break with the family at Parc de la Courossé 🍃. A getaway to Nantes for the Machines of the Isle and a wow moment with your partner or kids 🐘. Or head to Clisson for its castle and its Italian ambiance for a romantic walk 🌅.
