La Marche en Fête - Salon-de-Provence

In Salon-de-Provence, La Marche en Fête holds a 3 km city walk in early October. This is not a running race; the event focuses on active walking, treating it as a simple daily physical activity accessible without special equipment or prior racing experience. The Salon-de-Provence event is part of a French Athletics Federation program that also takes place in Paris, Clermont-Ferrand, Colmar, Toulouse, and Valenciennes. The format welcomes athletes, non-athletes, solo participants, and families, and includes recreational activities alongside the walk. The initiative adheres to a protocol developed by experts and supports France's national campaign to promote physical and sports activity, with backing from the Ministry of Sports.
