On October 4, 2026, the city of Sélestat invites runners to participate in its 33rd edition of the Sélestat Road Races. Organized by the City of Sélestat and the Municipal Sports Office with support from local community groups, this event offers a unique blend of charm and performance across three distances: semi-marathon, 10 kilometers, and 5 kilometers. The race day begins early in the morning when participants gather for the semi-marathon at 8:20 AM. This challenging course covers 21.1 kilometers through Sélestat's scenic streets, offering runners a mix of flat terrain that showcases the town’s historic architecture and vibrant atmosphere. For those looking to test their abilities over shorter distances, there are two additional race options. At 10:30 AM, the gates open for the 10-kilometer run, welcoming participants aged 16 years or older. This route follows a similar path through Sélestat's picturesque landscapes and bustling city center, providing an opportunity to experience the town’s unique character in just over half the distance of the semi-marathon. For runners who prefer a shorter yet exciting challenge, the 5-kilometer race starts at 11:20 AM. This family-friendly event is open to participants aged 16 and above and offers a condensed version of Sélestat’s scenic beauty in just over five kilometers. The day concludes with races for young athletes, including categories for U10, U12, and U14 runners at 11:30 AM. These events provide an early introduction to competitive running within the supportive environment of Sélestat's community sports scene. Each race promises a memorable experience, combining athletic challenge with the charm of this historic Alsatian town. Participants will enjoy well-organized races that highlight the best features of Sélestat while fostering a sense of camaraderie among runners and spectators alike. Join us in celebrating another year of running excellence at these beloved local events.
