Ready for the 23rd Flora Hike? Sport and solidarity on the menu

On Sunday, May 17, 2026, the Albanian Cyclotourist Entente (ECTA) is hosting the 23rd edition of its “Rando de la Flora” event in Saint-Alban, promising a scenic and challenging experience for cycling enthusiasts of all levels. Last year’s event saw 800 participants, and this year, the organizers are aiming to surpass that number with well-designed routes, a supportive atmosphere, and breathtaking landscapes along the Flora valley and coastline.

Whether you’re a cycling enthusiast or a casual walker, there’s something for everyone at the event. The organizers have curated various options, including: – Mountain biking: 5 routes ranging from 20 to 60 km – Road cycling: 3 loops of 51 to 108 km – Gravel biking: 2 routes of 53 and 84 km – Walking: 4 routes catering to all levels, from a 5 km family circuit to a challenging 20 km for the most athletic participants.

In terms of logistics, ECTA has arranged refueling stations along the routes until noon for participants to recharge, and a washing station will be available for cyclists to spruce up their bikes.

In addition to the sporting challenge, the Rando de la Flora event supports a charitable cause by donating 1 euro from each registration fee (6 euros in total) to the Association of Parkinson’s Patients in Côtes-d’Armor. This provides participants with an opportunity to give back while enjoying a fulfilling day of outdoor activities.

The event is set to take place on Sunday, May 17, at the town hall. On-site registrations will be available, and participants can start anytime from 7:30 am. The participation fee is 6 euros, with 1 euro dedicated to charity.
