Distance
Terrain
The Courses de la Paix takes place in Pau, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of south-west France, on Saturday 19 December 2026. Entrants can choose between a 10 kilometre race, a 10 kilometre relay, and a 10 kilometre walk, so the morning works as well for runners chasing a time as for groups and families who want to cover the distance together. The event is staged in the city itself and is timed and organised by Pyrénées Chrono, who publish the latest details on their own event page. As a mid-December fixture the day is usually cool and can be wet, so layers you can shed and a change of clothes for afterwards are worth packing.

Other questions
There are three options, all over 10 kilometres: an individual 10 kilometre race, a 10 kilometre relay, and a 10 kilometre walk.
The 10 kilometre walk is a separate non-racing category. It suits people who want to cover the distance at their own pace rather than compete for a time.
Mid-December in Pau is cool and often damp, with temperatures typically in single figures. Rain is common, so a light waterproof layer and a dry change of clothes are worth bringing.
Bag storage is not confirmed on the listing. Check the organiser's page or ask at bib collection, and travel light if you are unsure.
Yes. The 10 kilometre walk is open to entrants of all paces, and the course through the city makes it straightforward for spectators to watch from the streets.
