La Foulée des Géants is a night race held within Puy du Fou, a historical theme park in Les Épesses, Vendée, western France. Participants can select either a 10 km road race or a 20 km off-road trail, dividing the event into a quicker park course and a more demanding trail choice.
The course leverages its unique setting as its primary appeal: runners navigate after dark through the park’s monuments, performance venues, and gardens, deviating from a typical town circuit. The 10 km is designed for a broad range of participants, including regular competitors and recreational runners, while the 20 km offers trail runners a more challenging endeavor. The event embraces Puy du Fou’s medieval and historical ambiance, framing the race as a knightly nocturnal adventure instead of a straightforward run.
