La DAG is a non-timed charity event in Nantes, taking place in late September. It offers a 6 km walk, a 10 km run, and a 15 km run. The event is designed for participants aged 16 and up, without an official clock or overall ranking, making the day feel more like a shared cause than a competition for places.
The route follows paths along the Erdre and through wooded trails, concluding inside Stade de La Beaujoire, the home stadium of FC Nantes. La DAG was established in memory of Philippe Daguillon, an FC Nantes physical therapist for 33 years who passed away from cancer. Across four editions, the event has contributed over €76,000 towards improving care, comfort, and well-being for cancer patients. The upcoming edition will direct all profits to the Persévérance fund at the Institut de Cancérologie de l’Ouest.
