The Walnut Saga 2026

Looking for a race with flavor and character? The Walnut Saga, in Vinay in Isère, is the perfect meet-up to treat yourself in the great outdoors, between nature trails and a village vibe that gets you in the swing of things right away 🌰.

Here, no need to be an alien: pick your format 9 km or 14 km, and head out to enjoy yourself on paths that smell of Auvergne‑Rhône‑Alpes, with that little “accessible adventure” feel that makes you want to come back 🍂.

The really cool thing is the “saga” spirit: you come to move, you stay for the atmosphere, and you leave with your head full of memories (and maybe a hazelnut in your pocket… without making a shell of it) ! 😄

And after the effort, keep the pleasure going just a stone’s throw from the start: a stroll through the Petrifying Fountains Garden in La Sône, a detour to the Choranche Cave and its stalactites as fine as lace, a photo stop in front of the hanging houses of Pont‑en‑Royans, or a trip to Saint‑Antoine‑l’Abbaye for an ultra-charming heritage break 🏞️.

If you’re coming as a duo or with your crew, you can also plan a relaxed walk by the water along the Isère, a hot chocolate on a terrace in Vinay, and a mini getaway into the Vercors to end the day in “big breath of fresh air” mode! ☕
