Les Foulées de la Rue
Les Foulées de la Rue is a city road race in Beauvais, Oise department, Hauts-de-France. Runners can select between 5 km and 10 km distances, with both main races following single-loop courses through the city streets. The event also features children’s and junior races, making it suitable for families and adults seeking a short, organized run. With over a thousand participants in the last edition, it is a local race of sufficient scale to feel active without becoming an overwhelming running festival. The name reflects the format: the race guides participants from street to street around Beauvais, with the tagline “Va de Rue en Rue!” emphasizing its urban setting. It caters to beginners wanting a manageable distance, experienced runners aiming for a quick 5 km or 10 km effort, and marathoners using it as a tune-up run. The race also strongly supports local solidarity, with proceeds benefiting the Les Foulées de la Rue association in their distribution of meals and hygiene products to Beauvais residents in need. The slogan, “I run, I am supportive,” is demonstrated through tangible actions, such as the association distributing over 3,600 meals last year.
