La Rose Pontétienne 2026

La Rose Pontétienne is a running and walking event held in mid-October in Le Pontet, located in the Vaucluse area of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. Organized by US Le Pontet Athlétisme, it is part of Octobre Rose, with proceeds supporting the fight against cancer. The event features bronze-label 5 km and 10 km road races, alongside a 5 km walk. The 10 km can be run individually or as a relay. Volunteers are also essential, assisting at control points and aid stations. The event attracts nearly a thousand participants across all categories, including races, the walk, and youth events. The course utilizes a 5 km loop, with participants completing one lap for the 5 km events and two laps for the 10 km races. The route winds through city streets, bike paths, pedestrian lanes, and park trails, designed to be fast and rolling. The 10 km race typically sees over 200 competitors, with the 5 km, walk, and youth races also drawing substantial numbers. A team-count challenge is offered for companies and associations, recognizing the largest group. Registration is exclusively online, as no race-day sign-ups are available. Participants who register can enjoy a post-race meal in the gymnasium.
