Semin'Ordic begins at the JF Kennedy school in Savigny-sur-Orge, Essonne, offering Nordic walkers a 10 km timed event. Savigny Athletisme 91 organizes it with the town, and it is part of the Ile-de-France Regional Nordic Walking Challenge and the Essonne departmental challenge. The Open Nordic walk starts at 9:00 AM. Bib pickup is available on site the same day; participants need pins unless using a bib belt.
Most of the route crosses the Parc du Chateau de Morsang, featuring park paths and woodland rather than city streets. The event is open to all, with options for initiation, leisure, and competition. The competition category requires a license. The name Semin'Ordic evokes a Scandinavian, exotic, and adventurous feel, suiting this small French Nordic walking race that emphasizes endurance over pure speed.
