Les Foulées Bleues comprises two seaside nature races in Concarneau, Finistère, typically held in September. La Petite Bleue, the shorter event, covers approximately 7 km and begins at 10:00 from Quai de la Croix, with a limit of 500 participants. The primary Foulées Bleues race is about 13.1 km, commencing half an hour later from the same quay, and accommodates up to 1,000 runners.

Both routes traverse the pleasure port, the Ville Close, the corniche, and a greenway before concluding in the town center.
