Set against the picturesque backdrop of Limours, located in the heart of Essonne, France, this race offers runners and their young counterparts an engaging day filled with scenic routes through both woods and urban streets. The main attraction is a 10-kilometer solo or relay (2x5 km) event that winds its way along tranquil forest paths and lively town roads. The race begins at the Skatepark of Limours, on Rue de Marcoussis, inviting participants to take in the vibrant atmosphere before setting off. As runners make their way through this charming French city, they will encounter a mix of challenging terrain and beautiful scenery that promises an exhilarating experience for all levels of athletes. For those wishing to support younger competitors, there are several children's races designed specifically for different age groups: - Poussins (born in 2016 and 2017): A fun-filled run covering approximately 1.5 kilometers through the communal forest. - Benjamins (born in 2014 and 2015) & Minimes (born in 2012 and 2013): Both groups will enjoy a longer, more challenging course of around 2.5 kilometers, mostly within the wooded areas. A special event for even younger athletes born between 2018 and 2020 is also scheduled as part of an "Animation Eveils Athlé," featuring a non-timed run over roughly one kilometer to encourage physical activity among very young children in a playful setting. Participants are advised that there will be no mid-race refreshments; however, water stations await at the finish line for all runners and their enthusiastic supporters. Competitors should also note that parking is available near the college stadium next to the performance hall, making it convenient for those traveling from afar. In keeping with environmental considerations, each participant must bring a reusable cup to aid in reducing waste during the event. The race schedule unfolds as follows: - 15:00 - Animation Eveils Athlétisme - 15:35 - Poussins Race - 15:55 - Benjamins and Minimes Races - 16:20 - Additional Children's Events (if applicable) - 17:00 - Start of the Main 10 km Run With its diverse range of events, Limours promises a day rich in athletic spirit, community engagement, and natural beauty. It’s an event not to be missed for runners looking to explore this charming French town while challenging themselves against varied terrain and scenic vistas. This comprehensive race offers something unique for every participant from seasoned athletes to young aspiring champions, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a day filled with excitement and camaraderie in Limours.
