On November 15, 2026, the charming village of Vieille-Église will host La Foulée Vétiéglisoise, an annual running and walking festival organized by the local "Vieille-Eglise en forme" association. The event features a variety of distances to cater to runners and walkers of all ages and skill levels.
The main race is the 5km Route Vétiéglisoise, which offers participants scenic routes through the picturesque streets of Vieille-Église and its surrounding countryside. Early registration for this course costs €8 plus an additional fee of €1.24 before November 13, 2026, at 8:00 AM. Those who register after that date will be charged a slightly higher fee of €10 with an extra charge of €1.34.
For those seeking more distance and challenge, the 10km Route Vétiéglisoise provides runners with extended views of the region's stunning landscapes. Early bird registration for this longer route is priced at €11 plus a processing fee of €1.39 before November 13, while later registrants will pay €13 along with an additional charge of €1.49.
Younger participants can enjoy the fun and excitement of shorter races tailored specifically to them. The Benjamin course for children aged between 11 and 12 years old covers a distance of 2km and is priced at €2 plus a processing fee of €0.44, with no registration deadline. Additionally, there are events designed for even younger runners: the Poussin race for kids born in 2016 or later offers a 1.5km run that’s free to enter; while the Eveils-Babys event for infants and toddlers aged two years old and under features a short 500m dash, also at no cost.
