Course des pères Noël - Saint-Benoît 2026

The Course des Pères Noël is a Christmas-themed race in Saint-Benoît, where participants run dressed as Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus. It is a local Saturday event, not a standard road race in plain kit, and this is the twenty-fifth edition. The available report does not give the distance or full route, but it places race activity near La Hune. The equestrian brigade managed traffic around the event. Two officers rode Havana and Hypsos, Spanish-breed horses, while members of the firefighters’ association were available if help was needed. Persistent light rain did not deter the crowd of costumed runners.
