Les foulées du Père Noël

About the Event

On December 6, 2026, the festive spirit of Christmas will come alive with the 28th edition of the Foulées du Père Noël. This beloved annual race invites runners and walkers to celebrate the holiday season along a picturesque route through the heart of Malo-les-Bains.
The event features four courses for all levels: a fun 1 km run, a scenic 5 km walk, and two challenging races at 6 km and 10 km. Participants will navigate winding paths in the city center, follow the coastline along the beautiful beach, and explore the charming Parc du Vent. Each course promises stunning views and an unforgettable experience.
As you cross the starting line, you’ll be greeted by live music and festive cheer. All participants receive a complimentary Santa hat to keep the holiday spirit alive throughout the race day. The highlight of the event is meeting Father Christmas himself, who will lead runners in his convertible car through parts of the course, adding an extra layer of magic.
After crossing the finish line, you’ll be rewarded with the famous hot mulled wine waiting for you at the finish area. This warm and inviting drink serves as a perfect way to celebrate your achievement and mingle with fellow racers.
Join us this year in Malo-les-Bains for a day filled with joy, camaraderie, and memorable moments that will make your holiday season even more special.
Enjoy an enchanting morning of physical activity while surrounded by the festive atmosphere. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to be part of one of the most cherished events in the region’s running calendar. See you there!
