Les Foulées Souletines takes place in late February in Mauléon-Licharre, a town in the Soule region of the French Basque Country. The primary running event is a 15 km course, with the same distance also available as a walk. This setup caters to both runners and walkers, not exclusively to those focused on racing against the clock.
The route is described as a city-to-city style course within a natural environment. The 15 km trail is noted as the most frequently chosen option, and both the run and walk are presented as single-loop circuits. The organizers incorporate a local touch with the phrase “Attention à ne pas finir Soul-eau!”, a pun in the Soule dialect suggesting participants should avoid getting soaked.
