Quimper Athlétisme invites runners of all levels to experience the inaugural edition of 10KMPER on February 14, 2027. This exciting race offers two distances: a scenic and challenging 5 km route as well as an invigorating 10 km course that winds through Quimper's historic city center along the picturesque Odet river. The event promises to blend athletic performance with cultural heritage, showcasing the beauty of Quimper while providing runners with a memorable challenge. Participants will start their journey at different times: those tackling the shorter distance will begin at 10 AM, followed by the longer route starting at 11 AM. Both races feature water stations and ample opportunities to admire the charming architecture that lines the course. Upon crossing the finish line, athletes can look forward to a well-deserved medal made from wood and personalized for this historic event. Additionally, there will be an awards ceremony on Esplanade François-Mitterrand at 12:45 PM where top performers in both categories will receive their accolades. The race day village offers plenty of amenities such as food stalls, hydration stations, a designated baggage area near the finish line for storing personal items, and live music from a DJ. Participants can also enjoy photo booths to capture memories and watch replays on an impressive 15-meter screen positioned centrally in Quimper's heart. In preparation for this event, online registration opens October 1st at 9 PM local time specifically for FFA license holders followed by general admission opening one week later on the same day. The race organizers have carefully crafted a system of elite and preferred starting areas based on estimated times provided during sign-up to ensure smooth starts. For those looking to commemorate their participation, an exclusive collector's edition running shirt is available as part of your entry fee or for purchase separately at 20 euros. This limited-edition piece combines style with comfort and performance features unique colors inspired by Quimper’s rich history. The race promises a day filled with excitement from start to finish, offering runners the chance not only to push their limits but also immerse themselves in the vibrant community of Quimper. With detailed maps available online now and continued updates leading up to February 14th, participants can prepare for an unforgettable running experience that celebrates both sport and culture.
