The Hesdin Rose begins and ends at the Salle du Manège in Hesdin-la-Forêt, northern France. It is a solidarity race morning featuring 5 km and 10 km runs, along with walking options for those preferring a gentler pace. The event opens early, entries are low-cost, and on-site registration is available, making it accessible for local residents as well as seasoned runners.
The routes wind through the forest surrounding Hesdin-la-Forêt in Hauts-de-France, including a 4 km family walk suitable for those with children or non-runners. Runners, walkers, supporters, and families unite for a common cause: donations and registration fees benefit CHAM, supporting breast cancer research and patient care. Participants are given a pink headband, and a neck warmer is provided when supplies allow.
