On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the city of Montpellier will come alive with the energy and excitement of La Bosse de Montmaur. Nestled along the Mediterranean coast, Montpellier offers runners not only a challenging course but also stunning views and an invigorating atmosphere. The event features two race distances: a scenic 5km route that winds through historic neighborhoods and parks, providing participants with ample opportunities to soak in the beauty of this vibrant city. For those seeking a longer challenge, the 10km de la Bosse de Montmaur extends further into more varied terrain, offering a mix of urban streets and green spaces. Both races start at Place Jean-Jaurès, one of Montpellier's bustling public squares filled with cafes and shops. From there, runners will traverse charming cobblestone streets lined with centuries-old buildings before heading out to the surrounding countryside where they'll encounter gentle slopes that add an extra layer of challenge to their run. The route is designed not only for athletic competition but also as a celebration of Montpellier's rich history and natural beauty. Participants can expect well-organized support along the way, including water stations and medical assistance points strategically placed throughout both courses. Whether you're looking for a quick 5km jaunt or an extended adventure through varied landscapes, La Bosse de Montmaur promises to deliver a memorable running experience in one of France's most picturesque cities.

About Montpellier
Learn more about the host city, Montpellier.
Montpellier is the principal city in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southwest France. It's been one of the fastest growing cities in France since the 1990s. As a result, it has very modern districts on the outskirts that are in stark contrast to the old winding roads of the city centre. The town is home to a lot of students due to the presence of the University of Montpellier which has the oldest medical school in Europe, and, as such, Montpellier has a very young feel to it.
