Foulées lambersartoises 2026

Foulées Lambersartoises is a road-running series in Lambersart, near Lille in northern France. Races start on avenue du Colysée and finish on the athletics track at Stade Guy Lefort. The main events are a flat 5 km and 10 km, with morning start times. Separate entry rules apply for FFA-licensed and non-licensed runners. The series also features a 2024 m challenge for younger runners and Lambersart middle-school students, and a free 1 km Gérard-Tancré Challenge for local primary-school children. The event is organized by the town of Lambersart and Lambersart Athlétisme. Paying entries include a small donation to the Téléthon. The route is urban and mostly straightforward, using several town avenues and the banks of the Deûle. It suits runners seeking a quick local road race. The series attracts club runners, families, school pupils, volunteers, and first-timers. Run’In Club, for example, has had members racing the 5 km and 10 km while others assisted as volunteers. Past results show competitive depth at the front, including a 10 km finish in the mid-35-minute range and junior podium performances. Bibs are required for ranking, and only eligible older school students can receive official FFA timing in the youth challenge.
