Les 24h de la Gare d'Eau

Les 24h de la Gare d'Eau is a running event in Béthune, France, centered on a 24-hour race. The name references Gare d'Eau, and the format is straightforward: runners aim to cover as much distance as possible in a full day, rather than pursuing a set marathon distance. The program also offers shorter races for those not participating in the full ultra: a 1,000 m children's race, a 500 m family race, and a one-hour night race. This variety makes the event more than just an endurance test for specialists, as children, families, night runners, and 24-hour runners gather for the same race weekend.
