Foulées de la Bellonnie 2026

The Foulées de la Bellonnie is an October trail race series in the Vitry-en-Artois area, focusing on off-road running. The main options are a 26 km trail and an 11 km trail, with an 11 km hike for those who want the same event atmosphere at walking pace. Children also have their own short trails, with 900 m and 3000 m races scheduled. The unusual finish is a free, untimed 3000 m “Slip Race,” where runners wear briefs or swim trunks and add beach gear such as floats or inflatable boats. The event also has a clear local charity purpose: all profits go to Les Restaurants du Cœur and the solidarity grocery store in Vitry-en-Artois. A food drive for non-perishable items is held at the start area, so the day includes trail running, family races, a costume dash, and practical support for local people in need.
