Gravel - Saturday 2nd, May 2026

An adventure through forests, hills, and heritage sites

For 2026, our event offers three unique routes suitable for all enthusiasts:

Discovery Hike: ideal for enjoying the scenery at your own pace.
Chrono: for those who like to compete against the clock and others.
Ultra: the ultimate challenge, combining endurance and pushing yourself to the limit.

A fast and rolling start towards the Bois d’Hermet and then Montaigu, the first key point and refreshment stop.

The Rando will then head towards the peaceful Gué de Selle lake for a gentle return.

The Chrono and Ultra routes will climb Montaigu (280 m), a legendary peak that has already hosted some spectacular cycling finishes (Boucles de la Mayenne, Tour Pays de la Loire, etc.).

The Ultra route will continue on to the town of Mayenne and the Bois du Tay forest before rejoining the timed route to tackle the highest point: Mont Rochard (360 m), and its second refreshment station.

The finale promises to be spectacular:

For the Chrono route, a fast descent through the Bois de Crun forest.

For the Ultra, there will be an additional loop through Sainte-Suzanne and its unmissable medieval town, before reaching Évron for the finish.

The course will be faster than last year thanks to the new direction of travel, with a fast first section followed by the decisive Montaigu – Mirebeau – Rochard – Crun sequence, where the gaps will be made.

New for 2026: the Rando will also have its own refreshment station to ensure total enjoyment, whatever route you choose.

👉 In summary: three formats, three ways to enjoy a unique cycling experience… but always with the same promise: sport, scenery, and thrills.

NB:
Rando: 14 years old / ebikes and mountain bikes allowed
Chrono: 16 years old / ebikes and mountain bikes allowed
Ultra: 18 years old
