Run In Soissons

Run In Soissons is a late-May road race held in Soissons, located in the Aisne department of Hauts-de-France. The event is based in the Saint-Crépin district, using the Gymnase Jean Davesne on Rue Bara as the race address. Participants can select either a 5 km or 10 km race, with both distances qualifying for the French championships. A discovery walk is also offered, allowing non-runners to participate in the same event, ensuring the day caters to more than just those aiming for fast times. The course is described as fast and suitable for record attempts, aligning with the short road-race format and its championship-qualifying status. The participant field is limited to 1,500, and a recent edition saw approximately 800 starters. While local club runners are prominent, the event welcomes all participants, from casual runners to seasoned competitors. Its recent history includes a return edition where the 5 km winner achieved a time of 16:24. Results also indicated handisport participation, demonstrating a race day featuring both competitive front-running and a wide local field.
