The event in a few words

Want a bib with a story and a life-size playground? In Pursuit of Arlette is Falaise setting you off on its trails between nature and forest, in Calvados, in the heart of Normandy 🌲.

Here, you’re not just running “around the city”: you’re heading out on an adventure, alternating fragrant woodland and sections that make you feel like you’re playing hide-and-seek with the terrain 🧭.

Two formats, one same vibe: the 10 km to have a blast without burning out, and the 16 km to extend the pursuit and go after that extra little dose of challenge 🥾.

And then, admit it… “In Pursuit of Arlette” sounds like a mission: you, your trainers, and the forest slipping in a few friendly traps just to see if you’ve got a smile at the right moment! 😉

After you finish, don’t rush off right away: stop by the Château de Falaise (there, you’ll get your medieval fix), wander through the old town and its little lanes, take a break at the memorial to civilians in wartime, then head out for a gentle loosen-up over by Roche d’Oëtre for a view that’s well worth the detour 📍.

If you’re coming as a duo or with family, save a bit of energy for a relaxed walk at the end of the day, and finish with a good snack/terrace in town: here, they know how to reward the effort… without serving you big slices of regret 😄.
