Corrida de Noël de Perpignan 2026

The Corrida de Noël de Perpignan is a 6 km road race in Perpignan, located in the Pyrénées-Orientales department of southern France. It takes place at the beginning of the Christmas season, typically in late November or December, with the main race starting in the afternoon. The entry fee is 8 EUR, suggesting it is more of a local festive run than a major destination event. The event maintains a straightforward format: a short city road race for adults, accompanied by a children's race for families. Its Christmas theme is prominent, as seen in the event's slogan: “Direction Perpignan, le Père Noël t'attend,” which translates to “Head to Perpignan, Santa Claus is waiting for you.” The prior edition attracted over 200 participants, giving it the atmosphere of a small community corrida rather than a large-scale race.
