The Foulées de la Presse de la Manche is a public holiday fixture in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, held on 11 November and now in its 44th edition. Runners choose between three short road races of 5, 6 and 7 kilometres, with the 7 km La Populaire as the longest of the adult events. A full programme of children's dashes runs alongside the main races, so whole families can take part on the same morning. The courses stay on tarmac in and around the town, making this a quick, accessible outing for local club runners and first-timers alike.
