About this event

Want to test yourself against the Vellave Challenge in Monistrol-sur-Loire, Haute-Loire, in March, the season’s must-attend event in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Six distances are available: 11 and 21 km trail running, 6 km canicross, and 3 walks of 6, 12 and 20 km. The 11 km is accessible and non-competitive, while the 21 km offers a nature trail with breathtaking panoramas, before exploring the medieval lanes and tasting the green lentils of Le Puy.

Want to test yourself against the Vellave Challenge, one of the season’s must-attend events in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes? It’s in Monistrol-sur-Loire, in Haute-Loire, in March, where the kick-off of this challenge is given. Note that temperatures are chilly at that time of year, so bring something warm. 😅

6 distances to enjoy this event: 2 trails of 11 km and 21 km, a canicross of 6 km and finally 3 walks of 6 km, 12 km and 20 km. There’s something for everyone. 😉

The discovery trail of 11 km is a family-friendly course accessible to all, especially for beginner Finishers who want to give it a go. On this distance, expect rolling terrain on paths with little difficulty but still a few slightly more technical sections to truly immerse you in the trail atmosphere. It’s a non-competitive event, just like the duo distance and the walk, to let you test yourself without the pressure of a result. The Monistrail of 21 km is a true nature trail, with a succession of different routes alternating between rolling sections and challenging parts. The incredible landscapes you’ll discover are also the symbol of a successful trail with jaw-dropping panoramas. You’ll run on very wide paths, brushing against the full spectrum of the monotrace as trail running does. You’ll start on a very smooth course, then alternate between balcony paths and steep, even vertigo-inducing descents. The landscapes you’ll get to see are just as dizzying: your eyes will be wowed by so many wonders! The finish is just as explosive to close this trail challenge in the best possible way. 🤩

Don’t hesitate, after the race day to explore the town of Monistrol-sur-Loire and its charming medieval alleyways. You’ll find a little restaurant in the area serving a dish of green lentils from Le Puy. A great way to recharge after a great run! 😋

The Vellave Challenge, it’s far from awful! 💪
