The Corrida des Pruneaux is a two-day relay marathon in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, organized for teams of six instead of solo runners. Maison Roucadil and the Confrérie du pruneau mi-cuit organize it, with support from the city and the Grand Villeneuvois area. This is the ninth edition of the race, and organizers anticipate over a thousand participants.
The route has been slightly altered due to construction in the city center. Each team may include three individuals who are not regular runners, making the event more accessible for friends, families, and casual participants. Approximately fifty teams had registered when organizers last spoke, and they projected exceeding eighty teams, which would establish a new record for the race.
