Terrain
The Téléthon - Hent Melen is held in Quimper, in the Finistère department of Brittany, on Saturday 5 December 2026. Participants choose between a 7.5 km course and a 7.5 km walk, both staged as part of the French Téléthon charity weekend, so the day mixes runners, walkers and families on the same route. The event is organised locally in and around Quimper, and entry is handled through the organiser's Klikego registration page, where the latest route, timetable and entry information is published. Full practical details such as start times, meeting point and any entry fee should be confirmed with the organiser before travelling.
