Les Courses de Sélestat features a 5 km race through the center of Sélestat, a town in Alsace. This is the event's 33rd year, and the 5 km is open to runners aged 16 and up. It is held with a 10 km race and a half marathon, making the day suitable for those seeking a short city run and those targeting a longer distance.
The routes are described as fast and rolling, suggesting a course designed for consistent running rather than technical trail sections. The City of Sélestat, the Municipal Sports Office, and local associations jointly organize the races. Children have their own events in the U10, U12, and U14 categories, contributing to a wide community involvement rather than focusing solely on adult road racing.
