Les Foulées Bleues Decathlon

On November 11, 2026, the Stade Urbain Wallet in Amiens will host the second edition of Foulées Bleues DECATHLON, an initiative that goes beyond being just a sporting event. This unique race aims to raise awareness about men's cancer screening while offering participants and spectators alike a day filled with activities promoting health and community engagement.
The main draw is the 5km run or walk along a flat asphalt loop, which passes by local landmarks such as Aquapole Water Park and Clinique Pauchet. This route offers runners of all abilities an accessible course that winds through Amiens's scenic urban landscape. In addition to this casual event for everyone, there’s also a competitive 5km run with official timing and rankings, open to athletes from the Minimes category onwards (born in or before 2013). The top finishers will earn prizes and qualify for the French national championships.
For those who prefer longer distances, a leisurely 10km walk through trails and woodland is available. This event provides an opportunity for participants to enjoy nature while contributing positively to their health.
Children are not left out of this festive atmosphere either; they can take part in running challenges on the track at Stade Urbain Wallet. These events include races tailored specifically by age group, such as a 1000m run for children born between 2018 and 2020, which is designed to encourage physical activity while raising funds for research.
The day will be filled with various activities including live music performances in the covered hall before awards ceremonies take place. Additionally, there are booths set up around the venue dedicated to cancer awareness and prevention efforts. These stands showcase innovative medical advancements and provide crucial information about men's health issues.
Participants can also look forward to a range of corporate packages designed to encourage businesses to get involved by organizing teams for this charitable cause. The event organizers aim to raise funds through these activities, with proceeds going directly towards research at the CHU Amiens hospital’s male cancer unit.
Registration fees vary depending on the type and distance of the race:
- For children's races (1000m, 2000m, 3000m), the entry fee is €5 per child.
- The non-timed 5km run/walk costs €8 for adults.
- The timed competitive 5km event and untimed 10km walk cost slightly more at €10 each.
Each participant will receive a medal or t-shirt upon completion, with every kilometer covered by children contributing to the research fund.
Whether you're an avid runner seeking personal bests or someone looking for a casual stroll in support of a good cause, Foulées Bleues DECATHLON offers something meaningful and enjoyable for all attendees.
This event promises to be not only an opportunity to celebrate fitness but also a powerful platform for raising awareness about men's health issues.
