Thomas ou le Prix d'une Vie is a small road race and walking event held in Pont-du-Château, located in the Puy-de-Dôme department of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France. Scheduled for late April, the event maintains a straightforward format: a 5 km run, a 5 km walk, and a 5.3 km road race, with the 5.3 km option being the most selected.
The course combines town streets with sections near the Allier river, offering a route that is short yet more than just an urban circuit. The prior edition attracted over 100 participants, contributing to its atmosphere as a local community gathering rather than a large-scale race. The event's French slogan, “Une belle raison de courir !”, translates to “A good reason to run!”
