La Foulée de Noel brings runners and walkers together in the town of Oraison in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence on the first Saturday of December. The programme centres on a 10 km course for runners and a 9 km marche for those who prefer to walk, with shorter 3 km and 1 km races laid on for children. It is a compact local event organised by an athletics club, with everything based around the town itself and a distance to suit most members of the family. Full details of the routes, start times and entry fees are published on the organiser's registration page closer to race day.

Other questions
There are four options on the programme: a 10 km course for runners, a 9 km marche for walkers, and two children's races of 3 km and 1 km. The walking route makes the day accessible to people who would rather not run.
The event is based in Oraison, a town in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in south-east France. Exact start and finish locations within the town are confirmed by the organiser closer to race day.
Timing arrangements are not stated on this listing. Many small French town races offer chip or bib timing for the main run and untimed participation for the walk, so check the organiser's page if a recorded time matters to you.
No weather policy is published for this event. Winter races in this region usually go ahead in cold or wet conditions, with cancellation reserved for genuinely unsafe weather such as ice or high winds. Check the organiser's page on the morning of the race if conditions look doubtful.
