L'Amazone - 6 km 2026

L'Amazone is a 6 km run-walk in Le Havre, centered on a large pink display of support for those affected by breast cancer. It is accessible for walkers and beginners, yet also serves as a competitive city race for runners seeking a fast pace. The event gathers children, runners, walkers, volunteers, local partners, and cancer-support groups, resulting in a more diverse field than a typical road race. The route is depicted by the organizers as a lengthy pink ribbon across Le Havre, where the color conveys the message as much as the distance. L'Amazone aids the fight against breast cancer through awareness, prevention, screening, support for affected individuals, and research, collaborating with the Ligue contre le Cancer Seine-Maritime since 2009. Each year features a theme for costumes and atmosphere; recent themes have paid tribute to women battling breast cancer, while the current western theme suggests bandanas, cowboy hats, sheriff stars, boots, lassos, cacti, and sunset colors.
