Les Courses Pasteur - Dole is an autumn race day in and around Dole, offering two main running options instead of a single headline event. The half marathon begins in Mont-sous-Vaudrey and spans 21.10 km, while the 10 km starts in Parcey, providing a shorter route within the same local race program.
The courses appear fast on paper: the half marathon features approximately 50 m of elevation gain, and the 10 km has about 18 m. Both race fields have strict limits, with around 500 participants in each main event and entries typically selling out over three weeks in advance. The half marathon provides pacers, beneficial for those aiming for a specific time. The day also includes La Doloise, a walking event in pink to support breast cancer awareness, and Courses Microbes for children.
