La Course des Rois

Start the year with regal speed at the Course des Rois 2026 in Chappes, a swift and festive 5km road race on Saturday, 10th January 2026. Organized by Limagne Athétic Endurance, this popular event features a famously fast loop through the town's streets, starting at 16:00 from the complexe sportif for a crisp winter afternoon challenge. The true royal treatment awaits at the finish line with the traditional serving of *galette* (king's cake) and cider, celebrating every runner's effort in true French festive style.

Mark your calendar for January 10th to secure your spot in this coveted, no on-site-registration event that sells out quickly. Open to runners born in 2012 or earlier, it's the perfect, affordable way to chase a personal best, enjoy delicious post-race treats, and toast to the new year with the local running community.
