In the heart of Southern France lies Vergeze, where Sarah Carreau's passion for running and her dedicated community come together to create an unforgettable experience. Born from a daring bet between Sarah’s parents and one of her fellow runners back in 2009, this event has grown into much more than just a race—it is now a celebration of solidarity and perseverance. This year, on October 31st, 2026, the "Courir avec Sarah à Vergeze" promises to be an inspiring day for all participants. The main offerings include a challenging yet rewarding 10.5km run through scenic routes that wind around picturesque villages and lush countryside. For those seeking a shorter distance, there's also a 5.5km route designed to accommodate runners of various abilities. In addition to the running events, Sarah’s organization will host a walk event covering the same 5.5km path for individuals who prefer a less intense but equally enjoyable experience. Each course is carefully crafted to showcase the beauty and charm of Vergeze while providing an engaging challenge for participants. Over the years, support from loyal sponsors has enabled this initiative to flourish beyond its humble beginnings. Sarah’s association now boasts nearly 100 members dedicated to promoting inclusivity in sports and community engagement. The event serves as a platform not only for athletic competition but also for fostering connections among runners, volunteers, and supporters. Sarah's journey extends well beyond the race day, with her passion for adaptive skiing evident through annual trips to Saint-François Longchamp where she enjoys dual-skiing in breathtaking Alpine scenery. This commitment to year-round activities underscores Sarah’s dedication to making sports accessible to everyone regardless of physical ability. Join Sarah and her community on October 31st as they celebrate another milestone with this heartwarming event that combines athletic achievement, camaraderie, and a deep sense of purpose.
