Challenge des 20 ans du Stade Paul Petitpoisson

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Paul Petitpoisson Stadium in Compiègne, the Agglomération de la Région de Compiègne (ARC) invites runners to join in this special commemoration. The event features races over distances of 800 meters and 1500 meters, designed for participation rather than competition.
Participants will gather at Paul Petitpoisson Stadium on October 2, 2026, where they can enjoy the festive atmosphere as part of a larger celebration honoring two decades of athletic history in Compiègne. The top eight finishers in both the men's and women's 800-meter races will qualify for an exciting final round.
Runners are reminded to arrive at least 30 minutes before their scheduled race time, allowing ample opportunity to warm up and prepare for what promises to be a memorable day of sportsmanship and community spirit. The event is not just about racing but also about sharing in the rich legacy that Paul Petitpoisson Stadium has built over its first two decades.
This unique occasion offers an excellent chance to experience firsthand the vibrant sporting traditions of Compiègne, while contributing to a historic milestone for one of France's beloved athletics venues.
Join us on October 2, 2026, as we celebrate this significant anniversary and embrace the spirit of community and sport that defines Paul Petitpoisson Stadium.
