Les Foulées Lilloises takes place within the Citadelle de Lille, a historic fortress park situated west of the city center. Lille Métropole Athlétisme is the organizer, offering a certified 10 km race as the primary event, alongside a 5 km run, children's races, and a family hike.
The event's structure accommodates more than just a single start for competitive runners. Club athletes can utilize the marked 10 km course for a precisely measured performance, while families and younger participants have dedicated segments. This event is in its early years, with the seventh edition scheduled.
