Registration opens on Wednesday, November 11, by 10 PM for both runners and families looking to participate in a variety of activities that cater to all ages. The day promises an array of events designed to challenge participants while fostering camaraderie among friends and colleagues.
The main attraction is the "La Bouclette" race, featuring two formats: Relais (Duo) and Solo.

Solo runners can also take part in a challenging yet rewarding experience by running all 15.2 kilometers individually. Both events are open to participants aged 16 and above for the Duo race, and from 18 years old for Solo competitors. Race day registration is not available; ensure your spot beforehand through proper online submission.
In addition to these races, La Moustache Impériale offers a festive atmosphere with complementary activities like a Movember-themed march of 12 kilometers through the enchanting Forest of Compiègne and multi-racket sports tournaments featuring badminton, pickle ball, and table tennis. These fun-filled events cater to children aged eleven and above.
Participants are encouraged to embrace creativity by donning their most impressive moustache designs for a special contest that promises not only entertainment but also the chance to win exciting prizes. Throughout the day, attendees will have access to changing facilities, restrooms, refreshments, and ample parking space outside the venue.
