The 10 km du Cotentin is a Sunday late-morning road race near Cherbourg-en-Cotentin. It begins at the foot of the church in Sainte-Croix-Hague and concludes at the municipal stadium in Querqueville. This event is a French athletics federation-labelled 10K, where performances count for clubs and qualify for the French Championship.
The route proceeds from Sainte-Croix-Hague toward Querqueville, featuring a net downhill gradient. This offers runners a swift path, though not one suitable for setting official records. Approximately 200 participants are anticipated, comprising serious regional athletes and club runners. A valid sports license or medical certificate is necessary for entry. The race resumed following Covid-related cancellations, with Michel Joret contributing to its organization.
