Foulées saint-loises takes place in Saint-Lô, featuring an 8.070 km run starting at Place du Champ de Mars. This main race is for junior and adult men and women, with a limit of 250 participants. The event also offers Nordic walking and several youth races, positioning it as a local running gathering rather than a standalone road race.
The Nordic walk covers just under 5 km with a 100-person cap and requires paid entry. The children’s races are free and divided by age: 950 m for the youngest, 1.350 km for Poussins-Poussines, 2.130 km for Benjamins-Benjamines, 2.550 km for Minimes, and 3.750 km for Cadets-Cadettes. Approaching its fiftieth edition, the series feels like a long-standing Saint-Lô tradition, accommodating walkers, school-age runners, club juniors, and adults within the same event.
