Le TOUR de la COLLINE

On Sunday, September 20, 2026, runners of all ages and abilities will gather at the charming village of Hinges for an exhilarating day of racing. The centerpiece is the 34th Tour de la Colline, a beloved event that offers three distinct courses catering to various fitness levels.
The main attraction is the Grande Course, covering 21 kilometers with a challenging elevation gain of 130 meters. This route winds through picturesque landscapes and takes participants up La Grande Colline, offering stunning views along the way. The entry fee for this course is €20 until September 14th; after that date, it increases to €22.
For those looking for a more moderate challenge, there's also the Moyenne Course, measuring 10 kilometers with an elevation gain of 65 meters. This route offers similar scenic beauty but over half the distance and climb as the Grande Course. Entry is priced at €10 until September 14th; afterwards, it rises to €12.
The third option is La Petite Colline, a shorter yet still rewarding course that spans just five kilometers with an elevation gain of 65 meters. Ideal for beginners or those wanting a less strenuous experience, this route costs €5 up until the deadline and then increases by two euros thereafter.
Race day registration closes at 9:30 AM sharp on September 20th. Participants can pick up their race packets starting from 8:00 AM at Place de l'Eglise in Hinges (62230).
In addition to these adult races, a special Children's Course is available for kids aged between four and eleven years old. This fun-filled event covers just 300 meters around the village center, providing an introduction to racing that won't exhaust young legs or spirits.
For those who prefer walking, three scenic routes are also on offer: a gentle five-kilometer stroll starting at 8 AM until 9:30 AM; a ten-kilometer trek with similar start times; and a more ambitious fifteen-kilometer option. Each walk costs €3 up to September 14th.
A highlight for families is the complimentary childcare service provided by the event organizers, ensuring parents can focus on their race knowing that their children are well taken care of in a safe environment nearby.
With its diverse range of courses and welcoming atmosphere, this annual gathering promises an enjoyable day out for all participants. From seasoned runners tackling La Grande Colline to young competitors taking part in the Children's Course or families enjoying one of several walking routes, there’s something for everyone at Hinges' Tour de la Colline.
On race day, visitors are encouraged to explore the charming village and enjoy its local cuisine before heading back home with memories that will last a lifetime.
