Sainté city run - Saint-Étienne 2026

The Sainté City Run is a road race held in Saint-Étienne, located in the Loire department of France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It offers shorter city courses instead of one long race. The primary choices are a 12 km run with 120 meters of elevation gain and a 6 km run with 60 meters of elevation gain. Both adult races have a 10€ entry fee and are scheduled for a Sunday in December, serving as a concise year-end city run. The course guides participants through a section of central Saint-Étienne, highlighting Place Jean Jaurès as a notable spot to see before or after the event. The series also includes free races for children: 700 m, 1.4 km, and 2 km distances are available for various ages and skill levels. This structure creates a local, family-oriented event, allowing experienced runners to select the longer city course while younger participants have their own fee-free options.
