The Course des Pères Noël takes place in Angers on Sunday 6 December 2026, in the Pays de la Loire region of western France. Entrants cover a single 5 kilometre distance through the city, and the race name points to the Santa theme that gives this December outing its festive character. It is organised by the Lions club of Angers Roi René, whose own page carries the current entry and race day information. Because the listing confirms only the distance and the date, runners should check the organiser's website for the route, the start time and the entry fee before travelling.

Other questions
The race is scheduled for Sunday 6 December 2026.
A 5 kilometre city run is a manageable distance for most new runners and for people who prefer to walk part of it. Check with the organiser about any time limit on the course.
The name of the race points to a Santa theme, which fits the December date. If you plan to run in costume, confirm the organisers' guidance first, as some events restrict headwear or bulky outfits for safety.
Angers is well connected by rail, with direct TGV and regional services from Paris and other French cities, and the city has its own bus and tram network. Arriving by train avoids the search for city centre parking on a Sunday morning.
Bad weather policy is set by the organiser rather than the calendar. Check their website or social channels in the days before the race for any change to the schedule.
