La Milhacoise Verte

So, you’re tempted to swap concrete streets and exhaust fumes for a healthy dose of greenery in the middle of July? 🌿

Look no further, we’ve found the perfect spot for your next trail challenge! 👟 Head to Milhac, this charming little village in the Occitanie that, for a sunny Sunday, becomes a true temple of nature sports ☀️. The Sporting Club Gourdon Athlétisme invites you to edition of La Milhacoise Verte which promises to make your calves burn as much as your heart 💛. Here, we don’t mess around: we’re in the Lotthe real thing, where the trails smell of earth, of forests and adventure 🌲. It’s the perfect chance to step out of your comfort zone, leave the couch behind and test whether you’ve really got the legs to tackle the steep trails of the 46 ⛰️. Forget sterile track timings, here we run by instinct, among oaks and stone walls, in an atmosphere that recalls the golden era of the true trail 🐗.

As for the routes, it’s a real all-you-can-eat buffet for every kind of runner, from the Sunday sprinter to the mountain–trail veteran 🥗. For the fearless, the 24 km is the big bite of the morning, a real chunk that will demand a smart pacing that keeps you in the race worthy of a master chef so you don’t blow up mid-flight ⭐️. We’re talking a technical route where every re-acceleration is a challenge and every rise a small victory over oneself 🏔️. If you prefer explosive formats that leave your lungs on fire and your cardio at max, the 12 km is waiting for you with open arms 🧨. And because we know you’re inseparable from your four-legged best friend, the canicross of 12 km is there to offer a moment of bonding unique: imagine the pulling power of your dog combined with your will to win, it’s better than "Belle et Sébastien" on turbo mode 🐕. For those who prefer the "slow life" mode or simply want to accompany the champions, the 8 to 12 km walk lets you enjoy the surroundings without constantly watching the watch 🚶. We adore this mix where the leader of the pack and the contemplative walker share the same smile (and the same urge to race to the refreshment booth) 🥤.

But what do you do once you cross the finish line with the pride of a finisher? 🏅 That’s where the magic of the Bouriane really kicks in! 🪄 No chance of heading home on an empty stomach: a plate of sausages and fries awaits for a quick and friendly recovery 🍟. It’s the sacred moment to replay your race, share your epic routes or heroic overtakes over a cool drink 🍻. Once recharged, we highly recommend exploring the surroundings of Milhac 🌳. You can stroll around the plan d'eau of the Écoute s’il pleut in Gourdon to refresh your legs or simply wander through the charming yellow-stone villages nearby 📸. Enjoy the quiet of the Lot and totally decompress, far from urban bustle, while thinking about that amazing moment you just lived 🍦. Because yes, by wearing your bib, you support the Fondation Perce-Neige 🌼. It’s the ultimate combo: you treat yourself on epic trails, discover a peaceful, preserved corner of France, and do some good 💛.

Honestly, with a program like this, the only question is which pair of shoes you’ll choose! 🤔
