Les foulées douces is a small race day in Dijon, Côte-d'Or, held on an October Sunday and organized by La Chartreuse. It offers runners several short road options: a 2.45 km race, a 3 km children's race, a 5.63 km run, and a 10.2 km run. A 5.45 km walking event is also available, making the day suitable for families, walkers, beginners, and runners seeking a manageable local race instead of a large-scale event.
The distances are modest, with only +24 m of elevation gain on the 5.63 km race and +35 m on the 10.2 km race. Entry fees are low: the children's race costs 3 euros, the 5 km race is 5 euros, the 10 km race is 10 euros, and the walk is free. The last edition had 638 participants, indicating a community-focused event with a good atmosphere but without the size or pressure of a major race.
