Course du téléthon de Wavrin 2026

The Course du Téléthon de Wavrin is a charity running event in Wavrin, France, offering 5 km and 10 km road races, along with walking and cycling options. It is held to benefit the Téléthon, with on-site registration available and a 5 euro entry fee directly supporting the cause. The cycling portion includes 20 km and 45 km routes, featuring a flexible morning start window and a group start for the 45 km ride. The event originated as a walk for Jeanne, a young girl diagnosed with myopathy, with the initial gathering intended to show her she would not face the condition alone. It now unites runners, walkers, and cyclists to support individuals living with illness and their families. Beginners can opt for the shorter race or the walk, while more seasoned participants have the 10 km run or the longer cycling route. The race maintains its local, straightforward character: participants can register on-site, pay the Téléthon fee, and engage in a morning focused on sport and solidarity.
