Les Foulées des Quatre Portes takes place in Rosheim during September. The 10 km race is part of a larger family event. The program includes short children’s races of 350 m, along with 3 km, 4 km, 5 km, 10 km, and half marathon options. Bibs are limited to 3,200, and the race typically nears this capacity, with over 3,100 finishers in the last edition.
The course notes indicate Rosheim as the starting point, without detailing streets or terrain. Participants range from young children on free short courses to adolescents, club runners, and experienced runners tackling the 10 km or half marathon. The 5 km features a women’s wave and a wave for minors. Female participation is increasing. The event is supported by a small six-person organizing committee and approximately 240 volunteers. A charitable aspect contributes to its local identity, with funds donated to Franck, un rayon de soleil, an association that supports children with brain cancer and their families.
