La Villenavaise Marche Nordique, a Nordic walking event, takes place at Espace d’Ornon on the Route de Léognan in Villenave-d’Ornon, near Bordeaux in Gironde. Organized by Club Athlétique Villenavais, it includes a timed race within the French Athletics Federation’s Marche Nordique Tour and shorter options for a more relaxed walk. The main race is approximately 15 km, holds a National Label, and functions as the Gironde championship for licensed FFA athletes.
The event features a 3 km circuit. The MNT race completes this circuit five times, while the 12 km race covers it four times and can be entered solo or as a two-person relay. The 12 km event is open to licensed and non-licensed participants aged 18 and over. A discovery session for Nordic walking is also offered, featuring a non-timed 7 km leisure route with free registration and available pole loans for those requiring equipment.
