La Vannetaise

La Vannetaise is an inter‑generational sporting weekend held in Vannes that raises funds and awareness for female cancers; the name remains the official French title, La Vannetaise. The event mixes competitive and participatory formats across several days, including a flagship women’s road race, walking events and youth races, and also offers a remote participation option. Organisers emphasise solidarity, community fundraising and visibility for cancer prevention during the Octobre Rose period.

The programme combines a coastal, in‑town route around the Port of Vannes with family‑friendly activities and dedicated children’s races, creating a festival atmosphere for participants and volunteers. Proceeds are donated to projects and associations working on women’s cancer prevention and research, and past editions have shown substantial fundraising and wide participation. The weekend also links to ancillary fundraising events such as benefit concerts that contribute to the association’s work.
