Join us for the return of the Foulées de Saint Nicolas, an inspiring race set to take place on December 6, 2026, in Metz. Organized under the auspices of the Eastern Zone Defense and Security Headquarters, this event aims to raise funds and awareness for military personnel injured during service and their families through a partnership with Terre Fraternité-ADO. Whether you’re an elite runner or someone looking to enjoy a scenic morning run, there’s something here for everyone. The race offers several distances: the 5 km course is designed for those who want to push themselves on a fast track, while the 10 km route caters to more seasoned athletes seeking a greater challenge. This year's event has taken strides towards professionalization with upgraded timing systems, ensuring accurate results and enhancing overall experience. For younger participants or those preferring leisurely routes, there are shorter distances such as a children’s run of either 500 meters or 1 kilometer, alongside a family-friendly walking route covering 5 kilometers. Upon crossing the finish line, all runners will be greeted with refreshments in the scenic gardens of the Governor's Palace. The post-race celebration includes not only award presentations but also opportunities to socialize and share stories amidst warm beverages and light snacks provided by on-site vendors. The spirit of camaraderie is palpable as participants from diverse backgrounds come together, united by a common cause. Whether you're running solo or with your team, every step counts towards making a difference in the lives of those who have served our nation.
