Les 6 heures d'Abbeville is a six-hour running race held in Abbeville, located in the Somme department of Hauts-de-France. Participants are challenged by a set duration rather than a set distance, aiming to cover the maximum possible ground within the six-hour timeframe. The event commences in the morning on a flat course, where the primary challenges involve strategic pacing, sustained effort, and the number of laps each individual or team can complete. Registration is open to solo runners, duos, and trios, with a participant limit of 200.
The race is situated at Parc de la Bouvaque, with the starting line on Rue du Scardon. The course is a compact 1.561 km circuit featuring no elevation changes, facilitating easy progress monitoring and accommodating both consistent solo efforts and relay team dynamics. Bib collection is available on the morning of the race, and the standard registration fee covers the race number. Abbeville provides a historic backdrop for the event, with the flamboyant Gothic Collégiale Saint-Vulfran serving as a notable landmark for participants and spectators.
