Varrains (49) hosted its 6th Les Foulées du Saumur-Champigny, a race course of 6kms or 17kms set amongst the vineyards of the AOC Saumur-Champigny.
Competing in the race was an impressive 2,500 runners, both seriously and for fun and as fun-runners past I couldn't help but get caught up in the festive spirit - a smile never left my face.
It was Augustins & my first les foulées and certainly not our last, the atmosphere was wonderful and an extremely well organised event for all to participate in and enjoy.
We were there to cheer our dear friend Hélène along as she had opted for the 17kms run...
...and by half-way she was still looking remarkably fresh !Allez Hélène !!!
Not all about the race, a huge fête for spectators and runners to enjoy afterwards included playground rides for the children, artisans cuisine and of course, les dégustations of the AOC Saumur-Champigny wines.
