La Wantzenau 10km

There is one distance on offer, 10 kilometres, but with two versions of it. Runners choose either the course sur route, which is run on roads, or the course nature, which is run on natural, unpaved ground.

Both cover 10 kilometres. The course sur route follows paved roads, which suits road shoes and favours runners chasing a quicker time. The course nature uses paths and natural terrain, so it feels softer underfoot and rewards a steadier, more attentive run.

Road shoes are the natural pick for the course sur route. For the course nature, a shoe with a little more grip is a comfortable choice if the paths are damp, as they often are in Alsace in November.

Early November in the Alsace plain is typically cool and changeable, with morning temperatures around 5 to 10 degrees Celsius and a real chance of rain. Layers you can shed after the first kilometre work well, and a light waterproof layer is worth packing.

Yes. A 10 kilometre race in a village setting is friendly for spectators, and supporters can usually see runners more than once by walking a short distance between points on the course. Ask the organiser about the best vantage points on race morning.
