Foulées Aquatintiennes is a road race held in mid-September in Tinqueux, located in France’s Grand Est region, near Reims. Participants can select from 7 km, 14 km, or a half marathon of 21.0975 km. This offers options for runners seeking a short local run and those targeting the half-marathon distance. The organizers describe the event as “Tout en simplicité,” a sentiment echoed in reviews that highlight its simple, friendly, and informal atmosphere.
The races traverse Tinqueux, concluding in the Parc de la Croix Cordier, a public park noted for its calm and green setting. The 14 km race attracts the largest number of participants, with over 800 runners in a past edition, while both the 7 km and half marathon have seen more than 300 participants. Le Comité des Sports et les Foulées Aquatintiennes are the organizing bodies. Local traditions at the finish line include serving champagne and slices of pâté en croûte.
