Les foulées de fantaisie - Mérignac 2026

Les Foulées de Fantaisie is a family running event in Mérignac, centered on the Eyquems district and the Tour de Veyrines. It includes short children's distances along with 5 km and 10 km races, with staggered starts for younger runners, adults, and children. The entry fee is modest for adult races and free for children, with registration managed online via Chrono33. The event is connected to the European Heritage Days and has also been organized as part of a weekend focused on well-being. The course starts or finishes near the Tour de Veyrines, the neighborhood landmark, then leads runners through the vineyards of Château Picque Caillou and into the Burck woods. Local descriptions characterize the nature circuit as a demanding, stop-start course with frequent accelerations. Approximately one hundred runners participate, from children to adults, and a brass band provides a local festival atmosphere. The race is organized by Domaine de Fantaisie, the Eyquems animation center, and resumed after a significant break with support from SAM athletics.
