Foulées de l'amitié

Whether you're a seasoned race veteran or this is your very first race, the Foulées de l'Amitié are waiting for you in Béthune for a morning where sport, good spirits and solidarity race together!

No need to aim for an Olympic time here: you run, you jog, you walk… in short, you participate at your own pace and above all, you enjoy it! Artois Athlétisme and the Ville de Béthune have prepared a wonderful morning so that every stride counts, on the course and beyond.

What awaits you on the day:

• Courses in the heart of Béthune, between the iconic streets of the city centre and the greener spaces of the Parc de la gare d'eau;
• Refreshment stations to keep the engine running: at km 5 for the 10 km, then at the finish for all events;
• A gift for every participant, runners and walkers alike: because it's not only finishing times that deserve to be rewarded!
• A finisher medal for runners in the 5 and 10 km: the perfect little reward to immortalise your performance;
• Awards from the end of the races: at 10:00 for the 2.5 km, then at 12:30 for the 5 and 10 km. Trophies for the fastest and something to send everyone home with a smile!

Course focus:

5 km or 10 km: to each their own dose of fun! The start, on rue Sadi Carnot, plunges you straight into the heart of Béthune. Head towards rue A. France, rue Ponnelle, then towards the gare d'eau before finishing on the Grand'Place and its must-sees. For the 10 km, after a first stop at the refreshment station, you set off for a second loop. Same course? Not quite: when your legs start to warm up, you rediscover Béthune with a completely different perspective!

And above all, the Foulées de l'Amitié is also about running for others

This year, the event is committed alongside Octobre Rose with a donation to a charity. Because running can also be a way to support a great cause and send a message of solidarity.

But the commitment doesn't stop there: a donation will also be made to benefit the athletics section of the lycées Malraux, to support sporting practice and young athletes.

3 good reasons to grab your race bib:

• Run for a good cause: with Octobre Rose and support for secondary school athletics, every participation contributes to something bigger.
• An event for everyone: beginner runner, seasoned competitor or walking enthusiast, everyone has their place at the Foulées de l'Amitié.
• A morning all about sharing: from start to finish, we come to move, cheer, enjoy… and leave with a gift, or even a beautiful medal!

So, ready to lace up your trainers? The Foulées de l'Amitié are just waiting for you!

⚠️ No on-site registration on the day, except for the 5km marche rose and the 1.3km (not timed)
