Les Foulées De Fontenay Le Marmion 2027

Les Foulées de Fontenay-le-Marmion begins at the gymnasium in Fontenay-le-Marmion, a village in Calvados south of Caen. This road-running event offers a 10.2 km race, a 5.1 km race, and three children’s races, making the morning suitable for families. The parents’ association of Fontenay-le-Marmion organises it, with approximately 700 runners of various ages anticipated. The adult races cover accessible distances through the Norman countryside of the Caen plain. The longer race starts after the children complete their shorter courses. The children’s programme is divided by age, from a 660 m run for the youngest participants to a 1.6 km race for older children. Local clubs are among the participants, but the low entry fees and school-parent organisation contribute to its community atmosphere. Runners collect bibs at the gymnasium the day before, and race day features aid stations and an awards ceremony.
