The Viaduct Rush 2027

Looking for a race that smells of nature and the forest, with that little taste of adventure just around the corner from home, in the Loire, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 🌲.

The Viaduct Rush, in Saint-Symphorien-de-Lay, is the kind of meetup where you come to treat yourself, challenge yourself, and head home with a head full of images (and a bit of mud on your shoes, let’s be honest) 🏞️.

You pick your playground: 8 km to warm up, 12 km to feel like you’ve got wings, 16 km to go for the “wow,” or 25 km to dive into a real rush… straight into pure fun! 😅

The common thread is simple: winding trails, stretches under the trees, a motivating vibe, and that little thrill when you get why it’s called “the viaduct” (yes, you’re going to get an eyeful) 🌉.

And after the effort, you can keep the pleasure going without going far: a stroll along the Loire to come down gently, a trip to Roanne for a drink on a terrace, a detour to Charlieu to wander around a lovely heritage town, or a getaway to Saint-Jean-Saint-Maurice-sur-Loire for the panorama that’ll set you straight again 🧭.

Come for the race, stay for the area: here, you run in the green… and you leave with an extra mini-adventure in your pocket.
