Les foulées du lingot du Nord - Calonne-sur-la-Lys 2026

Les Foulées du Lingot du Nord is a small road-running series in Calonne-sur-la-Lys, with five races packed into a morning program. The distances range from 770 meters and 1 km for the youngest or newest runners to 2 km, 5 km, and 10 km for people who want a fuller effort. It is a road event rather than a trail race: every course is flat and fully on tarmac, which makes the 5 km especially suited to runners trying to test their speed. The routes use country roads around the village, and the setup is simple and practical: the 10 km has a drink stop halfway, and every race has refreshments at the finish. The low entry fees, from a few euros for the short children’s races to under ten euros for the 5 km and 10 km, make it feel local and accessible. The gold-bar name gives the event its playful identity, but the racing itself is straightforward: flat roads, short options for kids, and longer distances for club runners or anyone chasing a personal benchmark.
