Les Foulées de la Cavayere Carcassonne 2026

Want a race that smells like the forest, nature, and lakes, without overthinking it? The Foulées de la Cavayère in Carcassonne is the perfect plan to treat yourself, push your limits, and head home with your head full of images 🏞️.

Here, you’ve got home-field advantage with the scenery: Occitanie serves up its trails like a tasting platter, weaving between undergrowth, watersides, and spots that make you want to speed up just “to see” 🌳.

You choose your dose: 5 km to come test yourself, 10 km (there are two—up to you to find your favorite version) to challenge yourself without burning out, or 25 km to tell yourself a real story from start to finish 🧭.

The best part of it all is the “sport + getaway” vibe: you come to run, you leave feeling like you’ve traveled—and that… that’s worth gold 🏰.

And after the effort, you can keep the pleasure going just a stone’s throw from the start: a stroll around Lac de la Cavayère (and a little quiet moment), a trip to the Medieval City of Carcassonne to feel like a knight, a stop by the Canal du Midi for an easygoing walk, and a detour via the Pont Vieux for the “I did it” photo 📸.

If you’re coming as a couple or with family, you can follow it up with a break on a terrace downtown, a sunset by the water, or a little post-meal stroll through the alleyways—enough to turn your race into a feel-good mini weekend.

So, are you coming to “run the Foulées,” or would you rather stay on the sidelines? 🥾
