Corrida de Givet is a 10 km road race in Givet, in the Ardennes, with the finish at Stade Berthelot. The main race is FFA-labeled and uses a three-loop course described by organizers as fast-rolling, so it suits runners looking for a measured, road-focused effort rather than a trail day.

Families are part of the day too, with free children’s races over 400 m, 800 m, and 1 km.
