COURSE DES ETANGS 2026

Held annually at the tail end of summer, this running festival is part of the French Athletics Federation's road race calendar. The event features four distinct competitions designed to cater to various skill levels and age groups:
A 10-kilometer run kicks off at 9:30 AM, offering participants a challenging yet rewarding course through scenic routes.
For those looking for a shorter distance, there is also a 5-kilometer race starting at 9:00 AM. This event provides an excellent opportunity to experience the festival's vibrant atmosphere without committing to longer distances.
Additionally, a special category for individuals with reduced mobility begins either at 9:00 or 9:30 AM, ensuring that everyone has the chance to participate and enjoy the day regardless of physical limitations.
The festivities also include a walking event scheduled to begin at 9:10 AM. This relaxed pace allows participants to take in the surroundings while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow walkers.
All races are open to both licensed athletes and casual runners, with age restrictions beginning from cadet level onwards. The 10-kilometer race is eligible for inclusion in a local challenge series, adding an extra layer of competition and prestige.
Participants must be aware that dossiers will not be distributed after 8:45 AM on the day of the event to ensure smooth operations and punctuality for all races. Bracing yourself for cooler autumn weather, this festival is set against a backdrop of crisp air and colorful foliage, making it an ideal end-of-summer celebration.
The atmosphere at these events promises a blend of competitive spirit and community support, with spectators lining the routes to cheer on runners and walkers alike.
