CHALLENGE MOVEMBER (Maladies Masculines)

On November 11, 2026, the vibrant town of Thenon will host a unique and meaningful race to support men's health initiatives through Movember. The event offers runners two distance options: a more challenging 12-kilometer course or a family-friendly 4-kilometer walk/run.
Participants gather at Place Michel Montaigne for an afternoon start, with the walking route kicking off at 3:30 PM and the running race commencing shortly after at 5:30 PM. The event is designed to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health issues affecting men.
The course winds through scenic Thenon, offering runners and walkers a pleasant experience with minimal elevation changes, making it accessible yet engaging for all levels of fitness. Spectators are encouraged to cheer on participants as they pass by the finish line near Place Michel Montaigne.
Post-event festivities include food trucks serving up delicious treats and refreshments, along with a bar dedicated to Movember-themed drinks. Douches will be available on-site for those needing to freshen up after their run or walk.
Adding to the fun atmosphere, participants are invited to embrace the spirit of Movember by sporting blue attire and growing moustaches in support of men's health causes. The event promises a day filled with camaraderie, community support, and an uplifting celebration of life.
The organizers emphasize that simply showing up is a significant contribution to this important cause, fostering a sense of unity among all attendees as they come together for a shared purpose.
