Courir à Carignan 2026

Runners and walkers alike are invited to experience the vibrant return of Courir à Carignan, an eagerly anticipated local celebration that combines sport with community spirit. Set against the backdrop of this charming village, participants can explore unique routes through both familiar and newly added scenic paths.
This year's event features a variety of distances designed for all levels: a 9km walk at 9:00 AM, a challenging yet rewarding 19km trail run beginning at the same time, and an intermediate 10km option starting just half an hour later. The trails wind through picturesque landscapes around Carignan, offering runners breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
The 9km walking route has been revamped to include segments from the longer course, with a pit stop for refreshments at Jean Rivière Foyer before heading back into town. Although slightly shorter than previous iterations, this walk promises a more technical and engaging experience that showcases the village's lesser-known spots.
For those seeking an adventure in nature, the 19km trail run takes participants on a journey through varied terrain, including stretches along the route to Bouliac where walkers will also pass by. The course is marked with checkpoints for water stations, ensuring runners are well-supported throughout their trek.
The day concludes with a special Family Run that brings together parents and children in a fun-filled race around Carignan's historic center. This event not only delights young participants but also instills pride among adults who share this memorable moment with their offspring.
Whether you're looking to challenge yourself, spend time outdoors, or simply enjoy the company of fellow enthusiasts, Courir à Carignan offers an enriching experience that celebrates both sport and community.
