Octobre Rose Oloron 2026

Octobre Rose Oloron is a charity walk-run in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, held during France’s October breast-cancer awareness month. Olor’on Run organizes the event, offering 5 km, 10 km, and 2x5 km relay options. The format accommodates walkers and runners equally, with approximately 400 participants anticipated, predominantly walkers. The course follows a 5 km loop, allowing participants to complete one lap for 5 km or two laps for 10 km. This race is part of a broader local initiative for Octobre Rose. Oloron observes the month with pink umbrellas, pink lighting at the Town Hall, a theatrical reading, awareness booths, and fundraising for research. The event's core message is that breast cancer, the most common and deadliest cancer among women in France, is curable in 9 out of 10 cases through early screening, which is fully covered without upfront payment.
