The event in a few words

If you want a race that smells like Brittany and forest, The Napoleonic in Pontivy is exactly your playground 🌲.

Here, no need to go looking for adventure far away: you start right near the town and quickly find yourself surrounded by nature, wooded paths and the fresh Morbihan air, with that little “come back for more” taste at every turn 🧭.

The 9 km format is perfect for treating yourself without sacrificing your whole weekend: long enough to feel like you’re heading out on a mission, accessible enough to come with friends, as a duo, or even to set off solo with a smile 🏁.

And then Pontivy is a great backdrop: you run just a stone’s throw from a town with real character, between history and greenery—in short… a Napoleonic that doesn’t end in retreat, but in a great memory 😄!

After the effort, take a stroll around the Château des Rohan, wander through the town center and its quiet corners, then get some fresh air along the Nantes to Brest Canal for a peaceful walk 🚤.

If you’re coming as a couple or with family, go for a walk through Pontivy on the old-stones side, take a break by the water, and enjoy a little gourmet moment on a terrace to relive the race… without making up stories (or just a little) 🍽️.
