About this race
Les foulées de la Mosson is a small trail-running event in Montpellier, France’s Occitanie region, with races for children and adults. The program includes children’s trail races of 500 m, 800 m, and 1.2 km, plus a 5 km trail race for older or more confident runners. Entry fees are low: the children’s races are listed at 2 €, and the 5 km race at 12 €.
The adult trail is short but not completely flat, with 80 meters of positive elevation gain over 5 km. The event is presented as an activity to do with family or friends rather than a race focused solely on fast times. After running, participants are directed toward Montpellier’s Parc de la Peyrou, where the aqueduct and the view over the city provide a local finish beyond the race itself.
