3ème Foulées Roxédoises

On December 12, 2026, the charming village of Roc Saint André in Val d'Oust will host its annual Foulées Roxédoises, an inspiring charity race that combines scenic routes with a strong humanitarian spirit. Organized by the humanist association "Roc-loisirs," this event aims to support medical research focused on breast cancer, prostate cancer, and diabetes.
The main highlight of the day is the 11.7-kilometer run, which starts at 3:30 PM from the village’s communal hall. Participants will traverse through lush countryside landscapes before reaching the picturesque Halage along the Canal de Nantes à Brest. This route offers runners stunning views of autumnal foliage and towering platane trees lining the canal.
In addition to the competitive race, two beautiful walking routes are available for those who prefer a leisurely pace: an 8-kilometer trek through the colorful woods around Roc Saint André and a longer 12-kilometer loop that showcases more of the region's natural beauty. Both walks begin at noon with flexible start times.
Upon completion of their chosen route, runners can look forward to some exciting prizes awarded by random draw. Prizes include bicycles, televisions, gift certificates, sports bags, and other valuable items. To claim these rewards, participants must be present on the day of the event.
To round out this humanitarian celebration, a traditional meal can be reserved in advance for just 13 euros. The menu features hearty dishes like ham hock with dauphinois potatoes, cheese platters, and apple tarts, providing an excellent opportunity to socialize and enjoy local flavors after the race.
For those interested in participating or learning more about this event, registration details are available online through Klikego for 8 euros. Walk-up registrations cost 9 euros at the venue on the day of the event. Alternatively, you can call the organizers directly at +33 (0)642-605060.
