Participants can select from children's races, 5 km, 10 km, or a half marathon, with starts in the late afternoon as daylight diminishes.

The course largely follows the quays along the Saône River, combining town streets with the open atmosphere of the waterfront. The 10 km includes refreshments during the second loop, and all participants receive full refreshments at the finish. The event embraces a disco theme, offering prizes for the top three costumes and hosting an 8 PM “Disco Night Fever” after-party featuring 70s and 80s music.

Les Boucles du Val de Saône is a road-running series in Gray, Haute-Saône, with a race day focused on the Saône river. Typically held in late March, it offers multiple distances instead of a single main event: a 5 km, a 10 km, a half marathon, a mile race, youth races, and a 10 km walk. The event began in 1986 as a 20 km race with 350 participants, initially under Amnesty International. Its main races now have FFA labels, useful for runners seeking early-season qualification marks. The courses traverse Gray, Arc-lès-Gray, adjacent river paths, and roads alongside the Saône. The 5 km is a quick route along the Saône quays and through Arc-lès-Gray's center. The 10 km is a single loop incorporating town and countryside sections, several kilometers by the river, and a 500 m ascent in the opening kilometer before a descent and flat finish. The half marathon mirrors the 10 km route for its initial 5 km, then proceeds toward Rigny, remaining near the Saône. The event also includes walkers, children from Baby Athlé to Minimes, mile runners on an out-and-back course in central Gray, club athletes, regional championship contenders on the 10 km, and local runners seeking a welcoming spring race.
