Odysséa Villeneuve d'Ascq 2026

At Odysséa Villeneuve d'Ascq, you’re not just coming to “run a race”: you’re coming for a festive atmosphere and a great cause that gives meaning to every stride 💗.

The playground is perfect for getting started: in the city, with that little hint of nature thanks to the nearby lakes and ponds, just enough to breathe and let yourself be carried by the energy of the North 🌿.

As for formats, you choose your adventure: 1 km “I Run for Mom” for the kids (and families who want a shared memory as a duo), 5 km to treat yourself without making life complicated, or 10 km to challenge yourself with a smile… because here, “Odysséa” is all about good vibes 😄.

And after the finish, I’ll guide you just a stone’s throw away: take a stroll around Lac du Héron, breathe in some fresh air at the Parc du Héron, head over to the Museum of Modern Art, Contemporary Art and Outsider Art (LaM) for a culture hit, or make for the Stade Pierre-Mauroy to see a local landmark (even from the outside, it’s impressive) 🏛️.

To finish in relaxation mode, I recommend a terrace around V2 or a little detour to nearby Lille to extend the day: a race, a cause, and a mini-trip in Hauts-de-France… you’ll leave with more than just kilometers in your legs 🚲.
