Courge à pied - Boissey 2026

Courge à pied is a 10.4 km village race in Boissey, France, held on a Sunday in October with a 3:00 PM start. The late start allows participants time for the market, coffee, or a relaxed morning before lining up for a local run rather than a large-city event. Entry is 10 EUR, and a recent edition had 116 participants, suggesting a personal feel. The route begins in the heart of Boissey, then proceeds onto quiet country roads, communal paths, tree-lined tracks, and forest sections. It is not just a loop around the village center: runners encounter tarmac, stony paths, undergrowth, village views, and the scent of the woods near the finish. The race links directly with the Fête de la Courge afterward, making the local gourd festival an integral part of the day.
