The Semi Nature de Romans courses begin and end at the Guillermoz stadium in Romans-sur-Isère, Drôme. This early October road race offers a semi-nature character, with runners on paved roads winding between town outskirts and more natural settings. The event features shorter races of approximately 5 km and 10 km, alongside a 22.1 km option, catering to both novice runners and those seeking a more demanding challenge.
The primary 10 km race, measured at about 9.7 km, can be completed individually or in pairs, adding a social dimension beyond typical road races. Organized by Entente athlétique romanaise et péageoise, its fifth edition attracted 380 participants, with 260 in the 10 km event. Romans-sur-Isère, known as the shoe capital, embraces this local heritage with the motto: “C’est un beau roman, c’est une belle course !”
