La Nuit des Relais Bordeaux

La Nuit des Relais Bordeaux is a solidarity relay race held in central Bordeaux, taking place on Place Pey-Berland during the early summer evening. Teams navigate a flat 600-meter loop for 1 hour and 30 minutes. The focus is not on speed; each completed lap contributes to the Fondation des Femmes and their support for women impacted by domestic violence. The event welcomes all, fostering a festive atmosphere with hundreds of runners, corporate teams, and groups congregating around the square. The loop is situated in Bordeaux’s hyper-center, near the Hôtel de Ville at the Palais Rohan, Cathédrale Saint-André, and Tour Pey-Berland. Between relay legs, participants can visit the associative village, get refreshments, and enjoy a DJ set that transforms the square into an outdoor dance area. The race also commemorates the Fondation des Femmes’ 10th anniversary, lending the evening a stronger sense of shared purpose than a typical road race. Following the event, teams are conveniently located in the city center, close to Saint-Rémi, Saint-Pierre, and Rue Sainte-Catherine, where local bistros offer Bordeaux specialties such as cannelés and duck breast.
