Corrida du Noble Joué 2026

Corrida du Noble Joué is a 7 km evening road race held in the center of Esvres, a town situated on the hills of the Indre. The race begins at 8:00 PM and supports the Téléthon, with 1 euro from each registration fee donated to AFM Téléthon. This event has a limited field, capped at 500 participants. Registration must be completed online via Ikinoa, and there are general men's and women's podium awards. The course consists of three 2.30 km loops that traverse the streets and narrow lanes of Esvres, meaning participants will pass through certain busy areas of the town multiple times. A distinctive element of the route is the ascent of the castle steps, a specific local feature that adds challenge to the short urban circuit. The race also incorporates costume themes, with past invitations for runners to wear American-style attire or island colors, varying by edition. Bibs can be collected at the Salle des Fêtes d’Esvres, and participants are advised to bring their own safety pins.
