The event in a few words

Bike and Run Family is coming to the Pornichet Racecourse! 🥳

The concept is simple: 1 adult who runs + 1 child on a bike team up to complete a 5 km loop in the heart of the racecourse.

At the finish 🏁: a medal for all children. A snack refreshment for everyone. Podiums and prizes for the fastest. A closed, secure venue—ideal for fully enjoying a sporty, friendly day with family and friends.

The Bike and Run Family des Etoiles program’s mission is to support an association working for families, children, and youth participation in sport.

Since 2017, Bike and Run Family has brought together several thousand families every year (adults running, children on bikes) on a timed 5 km course in the heart of the Bordeaux Racecourse. This year, it’s setting off on the roads of France—and it’s coming to your area!

4 reasons to join this race

Rock-solid organization 🪨
In 2026, the Bike & Run Family concept celebrates its 9th year! Needless to say, the event has been a real success since it was created 🙌. Over time, the editions that started in Bordeaux have gradually expanded to Angers, Clermont, Toulouse and even Agen. A sign that people are asking for it 😉
A family memory 🫂
A shared struggle and a source of mutual inspiration—there’s nothing better for creating unforgettable memories 💭. The little cyclist cheers on their idol, while the seasoned runner keeps it together thanks to the ball of energy by their side: that’s what you call a true shared effort. Each one leans on the other to rise ever higher ⬆️.
1+1 = 3 😁
Well, we may not be math experts, but what we’re trying to say is that you can take part in the event as a duo or as a trio 😂. Dad or mom—why choose when you can bring both. An experience that promises to be as fun as it is physical 🥵.
Running for solidarity ✨
The "Bike and Run Family des Etoiles" program aims to donate part of the profits to local organizations dedicated to families and youth sports. 🤝 Running here means giving a boost to a great local initiative. Pleasure and purpose combined on the same course 🫶.
