If the upcoming weekend will be a break, the runners will do what they like to finish this month of May, in Indre-et-Loire. In fact, no less than four events are on the calendar before continuing during the first weekend of June with the Ronde de la Choisille.
First, on Saturday 18, it will be the traditional nature sports weekend organized by Sport Nature Bourgueillois, during Pentecost. Three long races of 12 km, 24 km and 38 km, from the place called “Gravot” in Bourgueil, will be on the program with a difference in altitude always present during the event.
Three events the last weekend of May
Traffic jam the following weekend with three events on the calendar. To begin with, on Friday the 24th, the Luzillé school sports association is organizing the second edition of the 2 Tilleuls race. Children will be in the spotlight, with three courses reserved for them, before finishing with older children over 5 km and 11 km.
On Sunday 26, the Buda trail and the Oésie relay will compete. The first named event will take place in Saint-Étienne-de-Chigny, where three long races of 7 km, 24 km and 20 km should delight the participants. The banks of the Loire and vineyards will make up the majority of the routes.
The other event of the day will be held in Notre-Dame-d’Oé, in the form of a 15 km race shared between three teammates. Over three 5 km laps, the first torchbearer will set off alone on the initial loop, before being accompanied by the second torchbearer during the second, before finishing with three for the final loop. A very friendly formula, where running rhymes with team sport.
A lovely month of May as a prelude to the following month which will begin with the Ronde de la Choisille, organized by the RS Saint-Cyr on June 2. With two races of 10.6 and 15 km to discover the charms of the Choisille valley, races for children as well as Nordic walking, the organizers offer a complete program.
