La Foulée Saint-Marcellinoise is an 8 km road race in Saint-Marcellin, held on a Saturday evening in November. The individual race starts at 8:00 PM, offering runners a night-time course through the town rather than a standard morning event. It is timed, with an approachable format: participants can enter alone or as part of a four-person relay team.
The route uses city streets and consists of four 2 km loops, with approximately 30 meters of elevation gain over the full 8 km. This looped design makes the race easy for spectators to follow and provides relay teams with a straightforward structure. The event welcomes a wide range of participants, from beginners trying a local race to more experienced runners seeking a short, intense effort, emphasizing friendly competition and personal challenge.
