Bayeux, known for its rich history and stunning landscapes, hosts the 43rd edition of Les Foulees de Bayeux on March 20th and 21st. This annual race offers runners of all ages a chance to experience the beauty of Normandy while challenging themselves in various distances. On Saturday, March 20th, young participants can take part in several races designed for children. The Mini-poussinettes (born in 2019/2020) and Mini-poussinets (also born in 2019/2020) start their runs at 3:30 PM, followed by the Poussinettes (born in 2018) and Poussinets (born in 2018), who begin a few minutes later. The day continues with races for older children such as Poussines (born in 2016/2017) at 4:30 PM, followed by the Poussins (also born in 2016/2017) starting their race at 5:00 PM. The Circuit des bambins for children aged two to six years old runs from 5:15 PM. For adults looking to enjoy a leisurely run or walk, there are family-friendly options available throughout the day. A 5.5km scenic route known as "Promenade avec Domities" and a 10km marche active event both begin at 2:00 PM on Saturday. The marche active is designed for those who prefer to move at a more relaxed pace while still enjoying the outdoors. On Sunday, March 21st, the main events take place with two key races starting from Colleville-sur-Mer and Grandcamp-Maisy respectively. At 8:15 AM, participants can join in the semi-marathon "Alain Buchart," which covers a distance of 21km and finishes at Henry Jeanne Stadium in Bayeux. Later that morning, the Marathon des Heros starts at 9:15 AM with runners covering an impressive full marathon distance from Grandcamp-Maisy to the finish line. Both the semi-marathon and marathon events are FFA (French Athletics Federation) certified, making them qualifiers for French national championships. Additionally, a 5km race is scheduled alongside these longer runs on Sunday morning at Henry Jeanne Stadium. Registration details can be found online or by contacting event organizers directly through their website: https://www.le-foulees-de-bayeux.fr/. For those who are not licensed athletes, the Parcours de Prévention Santé (PPS) is now accepted as proof of fitness for non-licensed participants at least three months before the race date. With its historical setting and varied course options, Les Foulees de Bayeux offers something unique to every runner, from local enthusiasts to international competitors. Join us in Normandy this spring for a weekend celebrating running and community spirit. The event is subject to change based on organizational constraints, so interested participants are advised to check the official website or contact organizers directly for any updates regarding race day logistics.
