Les Foulées Douces 2026

Les Foulées Douces – Running for Mental Health is a solidarity running series focused on mental health awareness, with events held at hospital sites in Dijon and Montfavet. CH La Chartreuse organizes it with partners from the Territorial Mental Health Project. The invitation is open to the general public, not just club runners. The program includes an 11 km race, a 5.5 km race, and an open-distance walk, all beginning in the morning with low entry fees. The Dijon event takes place in the park of CH La Chartreuse, while the Montfavet event starts and finishes at the Centre Hospitalier de Montfavet. Over 1,000 people participated in the last edition. The event aims to bring together regular runners, walkers, beginners, hospital staff, patients, and residents. Professionals at CHM can accompany residents or patients. The race coincides with France's Mental Health Information Weeks, highlighting mental health as the central theme.
