The Course des Cinq Moulins is a road race held in Sainte-Gemme-Moronval, a village in Eure-et-Loir within France’s Centre-Val de Loire region. It takes place near the end of March and offers 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, and 20 km distances, alongside separate events for children and juniors. This structure allows new runners, regular club members, and experienced distance runners to select a distance suitable for their ability.
The race route follows the countryside surrounding Sainte-Gemme-Moronval, featuring natural scenery rather than an urban setting. The atmosphere is noted as friendly, and the variety of distances provides a practical opportunity for families and groups of varying abilities to participate together. Nearby attractions include Chartres with its UNESCO-listed cathedral, Dreux with its Royal Chapel, and within reach are the Perche Regional Natural Park and the spa town of La Roche-Posay for potential post-race excursions.
