I think Feet in the Cowclaps lives in France so he may know. There's a couple of french races listed with this lot...

FITC, I'll be in France in the summer.

9th-16th Aug I'm between Tours & Angers & 16th-23rd Aug I'll be between Caen & Rouen. I'm sure the family would love for me to do a race on their holiday . I'm not fussy about the surface or type of running.

Will I need some sort of doctors note?

Fellrunner - did you get to do any races then?

FITC, sorry about not replying earlier, I've just been reminded about this thread .

I had all the best intentions of getting a race in on the second week, but a combination of too much wine at our first site & my back giving out turning the jockey wheel of my folding camper at our second site kind of wrecked any chances.

Had a great time though & we're already planning next years holiday. Hoping to spend the first half near Limoges & catch some surf on the Vendee for the second half.

Where are you based?

Where are you based?

Les Monts d'Or! Northwest of Lyon.

If you're near Limoges, don't miss the offroad race that takes place in summer called Les Foulées du Pâté aux Pommes de Terre!

A bit off thread, but if anyone's looking for a 43-mile partly offroad race on 1st/2nd December in France setting off at midnight, there's only one race that fits the bill - the saintélyon! which, as the name suggests, goes from St Etienne to Lyon. There are also 2 or 3 or 4-runner relay races, in which one of the winners last year was a certain British fellrunning champion!
