La foulée des sacres - Reims 2026

La Foulée des Sacres is a road race in Reims, offering 5 km and 10 km events that begin in the morning on Boulevard Paul Doumer, near Reims Cathedral. Some event listings also mention an 8 km race at dusk, providing a distinct atmosphere compared to a typical Sunday city run. SCAP18 and the Reims firefighters organize the event with city support. The available distances accommodate both novice runners and experienced club athletes. The route is urban, confining participants within Reims instead of venturing into the surrounding countryside. The 8 km circuit passes two significant city landmarks: the cathedral and the Basilica of Saint-Remi. The race has a history spanning many editions, with archives including results, photos, runner videos, official films, and a slow-motion start video available online. Organizers also provide traffic and parking details for local residents, a consideration given the route's use of central streets near prominent monuments.
