Corrida de Noël
About the event
On December 13, 2026, the charming town of Carentan Les Marais will host its annual "Noel Corrida" as part of the festive Christmas celebrations. Organized by the CS Carentan Athlétisme club, this event offers a unique blend of community spirit and athletic competition.
The centerpiece is an 8km run through the heart of town, drawing approximately 650 runners who enjoy navigating the vibrant streets adorned with holiday decorations. Participants can look forward to crossing the finish line where they will be greeted by a podium ceremony complete with awards for all competitors and various prizes for top performers.
In addition to the main race, children's events are held on the same day, featuring three separate courses designed specifically for young athletes. Last year saw over 500 kids participate in these fun-filled races that encourage a love of running from an early age.
For those interested in joining this festive event, more information can be obtained by contacting the Service des Sports at Carentan Les Marais.
The Noel Corrida promises to be a memorable experience for runners and spectators alike, blending sport with holiday cheer.

About Carentan
Learn more about the host city, Carentan.
Carentan is a small rural town near the north-eastern base of the French Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy in north-western France, with a population of about 6,000. It is a former commune in the Manche department. On 1 January 2016, it was merged into the new commune of Carentan-les-Marais. The town was a strategic early goal of the World War II landings as capturing the town was necessary to link the lodgements at Utah Beach and Omaha Beach which were divided by the Douve river estuary. The town was also needed as an intermediate staging position for the capture of the cities of Cherbourg and Octeville, with the critically important port facilities in Cherbourg.
