This Thursday, the town is organizing its very first Village Trail, which includes several courses intended for all athletes who are thirsty for a challenge. The start of the two races (8 and 12 km) is scheduled for 8 pm at the Place du Jeu de Paume.
For this first edition, the event involves climbing the Avencq hill, nicknamed “The Wall,” which was used by the Paris-Nice runners in 2018. This slope with an average gradient of 9% consists of bends over 2 km with an elevation gain of 180 meters. The race will start at 8 pm this Thursday, with a distance of 8 km, and another of 12 km for the more daring. These two courses will allow participants to discover the village and its panoramas.
Other activities are planned alongside the Trail:
– From 3 pm to 7:45 pm: bib collection and activities (fitness classes, battle rope challenge, cross training, aperitif games)
– 7 pm: start of the children’s race (800m for ages 5-9, 1.6km for ages 10-15)
– Upon arrival: grill party with live music, dance evening, barbecue, giant paella, beers, socca, food trucks.
