Corrida de Noël de Brioude 2026

The Corrida de Noël de Brioude is a mid-December road race in Brioude, a town in the Haute-Loire department of France. The main adult race is around 6 to 6.5 km, with a shorter 4 km option and several children's races, functioning more like a local Christmas running evening than a single-distance event. Runners start from Place de la Mairie, and the adult course uses five laps of about 1.3 km through Brioude's historic center. The programme includes races for children from age 3, with short distances such as 0.71 km, 1.42 km, and 2.13 km. Costumes are part of the format, with two dressed-up races proposed, and past editions have drawn more than 300 participants.
