The 5 Km de la Chaume is the shorter race within the La Chaume running event, held in Les Sables-d'Olonne on the Vendée coast of France's Pays de la Loire region. It takes place in April, running concurrently with the established 10 Km de la Chaume. The 5 km begins in the afternoon, preceding the 10 km. This shorter race is open to adults, offering a more accessible choice compared to the standard 10 km.
The 5 km course is described as accessible, while the 10 km route follows the seaside and passes through the town. Jogging Club Sablais is the organizer, and online sign-ups are open. The entry fee for the 5 km is less than that for the 10 km. The 10 km is approaching its 24th edition, indicating that the newer 5 km runs alongside a long-standing local race, not as a replacement.
