Step into the heart of Voreppe for an unforgettable endurance challenge: The Fourth Annual 12 Hours of Voreppe. Set to take place on Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 10 AM until 10 PM, this event promises a day filled with camaraderie and spirited competition. The concept is simple yet inspiring—walk or run for as long as you can, ideally pushing yourself all the way through to midnight. Open to individuals aged 16 and above, including minors accompanied by adults, there's no requirement to be part of any specific club. Whether you're an experienced runner or a casual walker, this event welcomes everyone who wants to join in the fun. Participants have several options for how they engage with the race: - Opt for the full marathon experience by starting at 10 AM and aiming for a grueling but rewarding 12-hour run. - Choose a more manageable six hours of running or walking, beginning your journey at 4 PM. - Alternatively, you can define your own duration within this timeframe, with flexible start times to suit your schedule. The race course is designed around a scenic loop that stretches for 1.5 kilometers and circles the Pinéguy sports plateau while passing through Parc Lefrançois. This route offers runners and walkers alike a mix of terrain and scenery, making each lap unique yet familiar enough to encourage steady pacing over long distances. Throughout the day, participants will enjoy access to facilities such as changing rooms and continuous hydration stations along with nourishing food options. For those who push beyond their limits and reach 12 hours, a hearty bowl of soup awaits at the finish line—a warm reward for your dedication. To ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment, organizers require that all competitors aged 16 or older either possess a valid license or have obtained the Pass Prévention Santé if participating in the six-hour or twelve-hour categories. This event is not just about individual achievement but also fostering community spirit through shared goals and mutual support. Join us for an afternoon of perseverance, joy, and personal triumph at The 12 Hours of Voreppe—where every step counts towards a memorable day out on the open course in Voreppe’s vibrant sports setting.
