Foulées givrées - Hirsingue begins at the Hirsingue Christmas Market, with participants setting off after dark using headlamps. The primary event is an 8.5 km race for adults, commencing in the early evening. The schedule also includes separate distances for younger participants: 1.5 km for teenagers and 900 metres for young children.
The race route follows the perimeter of the Christmas market, integrating it with the village's winter evening atmosphere rather than presenting it as an independent road race. Altkirch Athlé Sundgau and the commune of Hirsingue are the organizers. Awards are offered, and the event attracts many families, with 320 runners participating, including 102 children and teenagers aged 6 to 14, representing nearly a third of all participants.
