10 km de Riorges

The 10 km de Riorges is a Sunday-morning running event in Riorges, a commune on the western edge of Roanne in France’s Loire department. The main race is 10 km, with a 5 km option and children’s races included. The children’s races and 5 km start at 08:45, followed by the 10 km at 09:30. ORMA organizes the event, which recently drew 649 participants. The available facts do not give a turn-by-turn route, but the setting is clear: Riorges covers 15.51 km² and sits across two plateaus divided by a valley. The Renaison river and the Marclet stream run through that valley, and more than half of the commune remains agricultural semi-bocage. The format suits local runners, families, and people seeking a shorter race day, with entry prices set at 7 € for the 5 km and 14 € for the 10 km.
