Les FOULEES de la SAINTE-CATHERINE

On November 22, 2026, the town of Menneville will host the 24th Saint Catherine Foulées. This annual event is organized by the local municipality and festival committee to celebrate community spirit through a series of running events that cater to runners of all ages and abilities.
The centerpiece of the day is the challenging 10km race, which serves as the tenth stage in the Pays Boulonnais Challenge. The course winds through picturesque countryside, offering participants an opportunity to experience the serene beauty of Menneville's surroundings while pushing their physical limits. In addition to being a part of the larger challenge series, this event also contributes points toward the prestigious Trophée du Bocage.
For younger runners and families looking for a more relaxed day out, there are several shorter races designed specifically with children in mind. The Éveils race is a short 600-meter course suitable for those born between 2018-2020, while the Poussins event covers 1km for kids aged 2016 and 2017. Older children can take part in the Benjamins race, which spans 1.5 kilometers for runners born in 2014 and 2015.
In addition to competitive races, there is also a family-friendly 6km walk that starts at 9:00 AM as part of a fundraising initiative supporting Noah Delvoye's therapy needs through the "Aidons Noah" association. The event encourages community involvement by inviting donations for this cause during registration and throughout the day.
Registration fees vary based on when you sign up, with prices increasing slightly after November 21st. Participants can pick up their race numbers at Menneville’s town hall from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Saturday or starting at 8:30 AM on Sunday morning before the races begin.
All registered runners will receive a welcome gift, with this special item available for the first 500 entrants. The Saint Catherine Foulées promises an engaging day of athletic competition and community spirit in Menneville.
