Bours is a rural commune in the Hauts-de-France region with a population of approximately 600 residents. The village is historically significant for the Donjon de Bours, a 14th-century fortified tower. The demographic is primarily local and agricultural, with a median annual household income of roughly €20,000. Geographically, the Artois hills provide a "rolling" terrain with moderate elevation changes, offering panoramic views over the surrounding plains. The climate in mid-May is typically temperate but can be damp; average temperatures on May 14th range from a low of 8°C (46°F) to a high of 17°C (63°F), making the trails through the hills potentially soft or muddy.
Registration is managed exclusively online via the HelloAsso platform. Dedicated parking is provided at the KES WEST leisure complex, located approximately 15 minutes from the bib collection area. This facility also serves as a post-race hub with amenities such as the "Route 66" brasserie, bowling, and billiards. The organizers strongly encourage carpooling to reduce the event's carbon footprint. The race also supports Happy Handi, an association dedicated to supporting families and individuals living with disabilities.
