La Poyaise begins at Place de la République in Poix de Picardie, offering 5 km and 10 km routes suitable for runners and walkers. The walks commence in the early afternoon, preceding the 10 km race, which is then followed by the 5 km race. This schedule accommodates both participants seeking a timed run and those preferring a non-competitive walk.
Association la Poyaise has managed this event since 2014, with all proceeds directed to the League Against Cancer. Annually, approximately 500 participants take part, assisted by around 100 volunteers and supported by local businesses. Race registrations are exclusively online, whereas walkers may register on-site and have the option to donate prior to starting.
