O wyścigu
The Corrida de Noël de Saint-Just-en-Chaussée is a December road race held in Saint-Just-en-Chaussée, located in the Oise department of Hauts-de-France. It features 5 km and 10 km races, alongside events for children and juniors, catering to local club runners, families, and individuals seeking a brief pre-Christmas run. The 10 km distance is the most frequently chosen, and the event embraces its holiday timing with the straightforward aim of a small exertion before the indulgence of Christmas.
Participants begin at Mairie Place René Benoist, situated in the center of Saint-Just-en-Chaussée. The routes are designed to showcase various parts of the commune, avoiding a single long out-and-back course. The event incorporates both nature and Christmas themes. Its practical approach is part of its draw: bring running shoes, add a festive hat, select from the 5 km, 10 km, or youth races, and include one final community run before the holidays.
