Foulées d'Orléans

Does Joan of Arc in Novablast ring a bell? No need to beat around the bush: the Foulées d’Orléans are THE cool way to hit the pavement, enjoy the streets of a great city and, let’s be honest, show off a bit with the cathedral in the background.

What you’ll find there:

• Four races: half marathon, 10 km, 5 km and the Foulées de Jeanne (5 km untimed, for those who prefer to take it easy);

• 1 or 2 km kids’ races so that mini-champions can also have their moment of glory;

• Runners’ essentials: refreshments on the 10 km, the half marathon and at the finish, changing rooms to avoid ruining your car afterwards, and even showers. Have you seen how we take care of you?

• Orléans like you've never seen it before: Quays of the Loire, half-timbered houses, historic alleys... A guided tour, but in fast motion.

Course focus:

Here, no dark forests or leg-breaking mountains. No, Orléans is 100% urban, with VIP starts and finishes in front of the Sainte-Croix cathedral (classy). On the menu: an almost flat route, streets that echo with encouragement, the Loire that enters your field of vision and 3,000 runners who transform the city into a giant party. Time or not, everyone leaves with a smile. And what's more, your bib is used for solidarity projects. Yes, running is also doing a good deed.

3 good reasons to sign up:

• A race, but not only that: come for a festive, family-friendly and very Orléans moment;

• To rediscover Orléans from another angle: running + heritage = perfect combo;

• Because everyone is there: beginners, competitors, walkers… Even Jeanne would be proud of you.
