Dix des Ducs de Bourbon 2026

Dix des Ducs de Bourbon is a road race in Montluçon, Allier, central France, usually held in autumn. Runners compete within the city, on flat roads alongside the Cher river, and beneath the Château des Ducs de Bourbon. The primary distances are 10 km and 5 km, with shorter 2.5 km and 1000 m races available for children and juniors. The flat course suits both new runners and serious athletes. Recent editions have held an FFA Bronze Label and offered qualification for the French 5 km and 10 km championships. Entries are limited to around 1000 participants. Montluçon Athlétisme organizes the race with support from the Allier athletics committee and volunteers. A course preview run is typically offered, record bonuses provide a competitive incentive, and participants can explore the château or the adjacent Parc naturel du Château.
