Course Against Cancer Bordeaux 2027

If you want to give meaning to your sporting practice, you’re in exactly the right place 😉. At the end of September 🌄, under the gentle late-summer sun, the Cheer Up association from Kedge is organizing its race against cancer: the Course Against Cancer Cheer Up ! Kedge 😍.

This race is charity-based, and all the funds raised will be used to finance the projects of young people living with cancer and aged 15 to 29 🩺. If, as an athlete, you’ve always wanted to give your time and energy to support a cause, set your sights on Talence, in Gironde, and take the opportunity to get moving in a great mood... 🤗

To make this day a success, everyone needs to be able to join the party 🥳, and for that, the organizers have thought of everything 🤓. Three options are available: 5 km to do running, 5 km to do walking 🚶‍♀️‍➡️, or a more intense 10 km route to test your physical limits. As you’ve understood, in the Bois de Thouars, a few kilometers from Bordeaux, everyone who wants to commit to the cause will find the perfect fit 😋. Even the youngest! Indeed, the walk route is open to all age groups, which means that if he wants, your little boy can challenge dad over nearly 5,000 m. As long as in the end everyone comes together and finishes hand in hand... In any case, in this kind of race 🎖️, it’s not really about setting your personal best, but rather about enjoying the present moment ❤️, chatting with all the other participants 👯‍♂️, and creating a wonderful surge of solidarity 🫂. The Course Against Cancer Cheer Up ! Kedge shows that sport makes it possible to achieve great things 🤩, for yourself, but also for others who sometimes no longer have the chance to practice a sport as they wish 🫶. Here, it’s each participant’s drops of sweat that will help raise awareness for this cause 🥵, and raise funds for young people in need 🤝. Running knowing that every step counts is truly a wonderful experience! 🥰 And what’s more, you don’t even need to have a head for business or be a Kedge graduate: bib prices are super affordable, so everyone can find what works for them 🙃.

Well, let’s be honest: even if the cause is beautiful, the setting is also dreamy 🌅. Running in the woods, between forest and small ponds, won’t leave you indifferent 🚽. And if you want to extend the fun, don’t forget that you’re just a stone’s throw from the true capital of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Bordeaux, the water mirror, the Place des Quinconces or even Sainte-Catherine Avenue, the largest shopping and pedestrian street in Europe, open their doors to you for a weekend (or longer if you took advantage of the chance to use all your RTT 😮‍💨). If you want to stay very local and not tackle the region’s big city, you can also take on local highlights 🏰: Parc Peixotto and its central castle offer a lovely setting for an afternoon stroll. For a touch of heritage, you can also linger at the Château de Thouars, a true historic monument that hosts many festivals throughout the year 🕺. And when you say “Bordeaux region,” you say “cannelé”: don’t head back to your hometown without trying this delicious little caramelized pastry from Southwest France 🤤. You can bet you’ll come home with your pockets full 😳.

So stock up on energy: the Course Against Cancer Cheer Up ! Kedge is waiting for you with a smile for a day marked by solidarity 🙏, strength 🦸, hope ❤️‍🩹, and so many other admirable values that you’ll embody for a day! 💫
