Ensemble pour Octobre Rose

On October 18, 2026, the International City of French Language and Running Loisirs Retz en Valois invite you to Villers-Cotterêts for the second edition of Ensemble pour Octobre Rose. This special event takes place in the picturesque setting of Château Park, offering a unique opportunity to support an important cause: all proceeds from registrations will be donated to the association "Rose des Dames."
The race offers three options:
- A 6 km run with one loop around the park, starting at 9:30 AM. The entry fee is €10.
- A 10 km run consisting of two loops through the scenic paths, also beginning at 9:30 AM for a price of €15.
- A leisurely 5 km walk in one loop that starts at 10:00 AM with an entrance cost of €5.
Each event is limited to just 100 participants, so be sure to secure your spot early. This gathering emphasizes solidarity and camaraderie above all else—there will be no numbered bibs or official timing involved. All runners and walkers receive a complimentary t-shirt upon registration and can enjoy refreshments at the finish line in addition to a convivial recovery area.
Participants are welcome from 8:30 AM onwards near the back of the International City of French Language, within Château Park. Parking is available nearby on Grand Bosquet's lot. The event welcomes individuals born before 2012 and online registration closes at midnight on October 16th; no registrations will be accepted onsite.
Whether you choose to run or walk, your participation makes a difference in raising awareness for breast cancer research and support services during this significant month of solidarity. Join us as we come together for an afternoon filled with sport, community spirit, and meaningful fundraising efforts.
