The Foulées de Savigny is a road race held in Savigny-sur-Orge, located in Essonne, south of Paris and near Orly Airport. Established in 1991, it features 5 km and 10 km races suitable for both novice and experienced club runners aiming for personal bests. The event holds an FFA Bronze label, and both distances are certified, allowing participants to qualify for French championships.
The racecourse winds through Savigny-sur-Orge’s historic monastic and seigneurial grounds, with the Yvette and Orge rivers providing a natural setting less than 20 km from Paris. The route is noted for being very flat, attracting runners seeking fast times in the 10 km, and it also serves as a venue for regional competitions like the LIFA and Essonne championships. The event accommodates beginners, experienced runners, licensed athletes, and local participants within a single morning, with the 5 km race preceding the 10 km.
