La Farciennoise 2026

La Farciennoise is a local running event in Farciennes, Hainaut province, Belgium, starting and finishing at rue des marais 60. Held in May, it offers adults a choice of 5 km or 10 km races. Children have their own short races: 400 m for those up to age 6, and 800 m for ages 6 to 11. The adult course combines roads and paths, not solely streets. The 5 km is a single loop with 29 m of elevation gain, and the 10 km consists of two loops with 58 m of elevation gain. Running Team Farciennes organizes the event. Children register for free in advance. Adults can pre-register for modest fees, with same-day entry available only if spots remain. Finishers receive a medal and refreshments. Winners have an added incentive: prize money is doubled if the current 5 km or 10 km records are broken.
