Les foulées de la licorne is a road race held in early October in Gommegnies, a town in the Nord department of Hauts-de-France. Participants can select between a 5 km and a 10 km race, and the event also features races for children and juniors.
Both the 5 km and 10 km routes are single-loop courses through the town, simplifying the format for runners and allowing supporters to easily follow along. The 10 km attracts the most attention, while the shorter race and youth events ensure the day is accessible to families and less experienced runners. The local festival and fair committee organizes the race with backing from the municipality, and the event has already surpassed its 25th edition.
