La Lilloise 2026

La Lilloise is a road race in Lille, France, held in Parc de la Citadelle, offering both 5 km and 10 km distances. It takes place in late November, coinciding with Movember. The day combines running with men’s health awareness, focusing on prostate and testicular cancer prevention. The course winds through one of Lille’s primary green spaces, featuring park paths and city peripheries instead of a traditional street circuit. Organized by the humanitarian association HOPE and the Skema Sports Bureau, the event supports a student-led charity project. All profits are directed to the CHU of Lille. An event village with a DJ adds a campus-and-community atmosphere, distinguishing it from a simple timed race.
