Les 10 km de Bompas

Les 10 km de Bompas is a late-October road race in Bompas, in the Pyrénées-Orientales area of southern France. The main event is a timed 10 km for adults, starting at the Parc des Sports, and the program also includes children’s races, with four distances in all from 600 m up to 10 km. It is a busy local race rather than a quiet club outing: more than 1,000 runners, about 200 children, and around 150 volunteers are involved. The course runs through Bompas streets with fanfares and supporters on the route, and people come for different reasons: chasing a time, running with friends, having fun, or even dressing up.
