About this race
The 10 km du Coteau is a semi-nocturnal 10K held in Le Coteau, Loire department, France, with adults beginning at 9 PM on Avenue de la Libération. The Club Athlétique du Roannais has organized this FFA-labeled race since 1994. It features a straightforward, fast, flat road course for adults, with children’s races held earlier.
The adult route consists of three very flat laps through the town center, crossing the bridge, and following the Loire riverbanks. This design attracts runners aiming for a fast time, though the event also draws participants seeking a relaxed group run over a personal best. Hundreds of schoolchildren and adults compete, spectators gather along Avenue de la Libération, and prizes are awarded to the top three men and women, as well as category winners from cadets to master 8.
