Les Foulées Choletaises 2026

Les Foulées Choletaises is a road race held annually in Cholet, Maine-et-Loire, western France. Centered on a 10 km event in late October, the main race begins around 10:15 AM. The program also features a 5 km race, events for children and juniors, and a handisport category. Les Foulées Choletaises, a local organization, manages the event, which holds a national ranking on the French athletics calendar. The 10 km course consists of two laps through the city and a public park, using the stadium on Rue Jean Bouin as the central point. This course is certified for record attempts, appealing to runners aiming for a fast official time, as well as local club members and novices. Approximately 3,500 runners typically participate in the 10 km, with an additional 500 in the preceding 5 km race. The event's informal motto is “Fais ton Show à Chowlet !”, and race-day photos and videos are posted on its Instagram and Facebook accounts.
