Les Foulées de la Rue 5 km is a city-centre road race in Beauvais. Runners start at the Pont de Paris and finish at Place Jeanne Hachette. The event also offers a 10 km option, with the 5 km providing a shorter route to participate in the same evening race atmosphere in the heart of town.
The race is closely linked to the local association Les Foulées de la Rue. Proceeds are used to distribute meals and hygiene products to people in need in Beauvais. The association distributed over 3,600 meals in a recent year. Its slogan, “I run, I am supportive,” clearly states the event's purpose. Bruno Clinckemaillie and his co-president have led the race for five years, with several months of planning preceding each edition.
