Les foulées des hussards

Les Foulées des Hussards begins waterside in Metz, with the Moselle and the city’s old stone landmarks nearby. This is a paid running event organized by the 3rd Hussars Regiment, offering 5 km, 10 km, 30 km solo, and 3 x 10 km relay options. The shorter distances are suitable for those seeking an accessible city run, while the 30 km provides a longer challenge for stronger runners without entering ultra distances. The course starts at the Plan d’Eau and offers runners views of Metz’s heritage, including the cathedral. The Hussars theme is integral: the event connects sport with remembrance and contributes to funding the regiment’s war memorial. It is open to the public, so participants can range from first-timers and club runners to relay teams and individuals attracted by the military-history aspect as much as by the race itself.
