Nocturne du Jacquemart 2026

Nocturne du Jacquemart is a July night road race in Lavaur, a commune in France’s Occitanie region. The event starts from Halle d’Occitanie and offers two road distances: 5 km and 10 km. Running after sunset is part of the appeal, as the summer evening should feel less harsh than racing under the full daytime heat. The route mixes streets in town with more natural sections around Lavaur. Lavaur athlétisme organizes the race. The name comes from a jacquemart: a carved figure that strikes a bell to mark the hours. Published details are limited, with no start time, elevation gain, or entry price listed.
