Albi Run Urbain

The Albi Run Urbain #8 on Friday, 17 April 2026 is more than a race—it's a vibrant community festival and a powerful act of solidarity in the heart of the UNESCO-listed city of Albi. Under the motto "Uni pour l'autonomie" (United for Autonomy), the 19:00 event from the Place du Vigan directly supports local people in gaining independence, fueled entirely by community spirit. Runners and walkers can choose from a surprise 12 km urban circuit, an 8 km run, or an 8 km Nordic walk, making the experience inclusive for all. The secret route, revealed just two days prior, often winds past the city's iconic red-brick monuments, creating a unique and memorable urban adventure. Festive children's races, music, and lively post-race celebrations turn the evening into a major local party for participants and spectators. Every detail, from the affordable €12 entry fee to the on-site physiotherapists, is designed with warmth and community care. Join thousands on this special Friday night to run for a purpose and experience the unique, joyful heart of Albi.
