Les foulées roses - Bourg-Achard 2026

Les Foulées roses de Bourg-Achard begins and ends at the Place de la mairie, positioning this small Normandy town as the focal point for a Pink October charity morning. This road race and walk is organized by the local athletics club, the town council, and the Foulées roses association to generate funds for breast cancer research. Participants can opt for timed 5 km and 10 km races, while walkers have a 5 km course available. Children are offered a short, complimentary race. The course winds through the town center and the outskirts of Bourg-Achard, avoiding extensive travel into the countryside. The 5 km and 10 km races are open to all, with a limit of 500 participants each, and feature modest entry fees, reflecting the event's community spirit. It attracts both serious runners and casual walkers, families, and individuals motivated primarily by the cause. A prior edition successfully raised close to 4,500 euros for donations. Bib collection is even held at the local Carrefour Market, highlighting the race's integration into the daily life of Bourg-Achard.
