La Roquestorienne

La Roquestorienne begins and ends at the Salle des Sports on Rue Creuse Gabriel in Roquetoire, a village in Pas-de-Calais, northern France. This mid-October town road race offers 5 km and 10 km options, alongside shorter races for children and juniors. The 10 km event is part of the CAPSO challenge, providing a competitive goal for local runners without making the day exclusively for elites. The races take place on town roads, with the 10 km course designed as a single loop. Distances available at the meeting include 600 m, 1.5 km, 5 km, and 10 km, catering to children, newer runners, club members, and those seeking a local race morning. The event is traditionally linked to Roquetoire's ducasse weekend, integrating the running with the village fair and local life. Previous results indicate local runners from Roquetoire have won both the 1.5 km and 5 km races, and over 100 participants have joined in recent years.
