Les chemins du mélantois

Two villages, two starting points, one single desire: to share a simple, sporty and human moment. 10 minutes from Lille, the Chemins du Mélantois invite you to go off the beaten track… only to come back to it. Here, Péronne and Sainghin team up to offer you a nature break in a human-sized atmosphere, driven by volunteers who are totally on the ball.

What you'll find on site:

• 5 and 10 km races on mixed terrain (with a minimum of 70% trails) and two 900 m races – perfect for running as a pair or just to mix things up;
• A golden organisation and a warm welcome, in a setting that smells of countryside and shared efforts;
• Refreshment stations every 2.5 km (and at the finish line, of course) so you never run out of fuel – literally.

Course focus:

Get ready to run through the Bois de la Noyelle, along the fishing pond of Sainghin and venture into the Marais de la Marque, all alongside more than 650 runners. Since last year, a brand new trail section has been opened along the Marque! A mix of woodland paths, trails and slightly faster sections, just what you need to enjoy yourself without (too much) suffering.

3 (very) good reasons to take part:

• Discover or rediscover the Mélantois in a different way, through its secret paths and its two complicit villages;
• Challenge yourself on a nature route that is accessible, but never boring;
• Share a true moment of conviviality, like a village fête in trainers.
