Bougeons pour Alzheimer is a charity road-race series held in Dijon, Côte-d'Or, with its primary in-person location on the shores of Lac Kir. It takes place in late April, offering short and accessible distances: 3.7 km, 5 km, and 10 km, available for both walking and running. The event benefits individuals affected by Alzheimer's disease and is organized by France Alzheimer Côte-d'Or, linking race day directly to local support, respite, and awareness efforts rather than solely focusing on finish times.
The course guides participants alongside water and green space, with Lac Kir providing a nature-oriented setting within Dijon. The series also accommodates handisport and a connected format, allowing remote participation. Individuals can select a 5 km walk, 5 km run, or 10 km run, logging their activity via an app for a shared leaderboard. Many use the event to express solidarity with families facing Alzheimer's, honor a loved one, or involve friends and relatives in a straightforward sporting challenge with a defined purpose.
