RunFest 2026

RUNFEST is a new sports and music festival at the Côte d'Azur Racetrack in Cagnes-sur-Mer on Saturday, May 30, 2026. It’s not just a regular race... it’s a full day of celebration, sharing, and emotions!

Here’s what makes the experience unique:

• A music-filled route 🎧. Each race is accompanied by a DJ and live musicians who play in sync with your strides. Run, groove, smile. Here, performance meets ambiance!

• The atmosphere continues even after the finish line 🎉. The party doesn't stop once the race is over: head to the RUNFEST Village to reunite with loved ones, celebrate together, and enjoy the activities.

• A friendly village for everyone 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒. Family areas, free games, activities, food trucks, a nonstop DJ... The village is designed for both runners AND their companions to have a great time.

• The Extraordinary Parade: a festive parade 🪩. No timer, no pressure: walk, jog, or dance on the track with 3 music zones representing 3 generations of music! Come dressed as a pop star, rock star, disco... and create your best memory 🎭. It's open from age 5, accompanied by an adult.

• Grand finale: ABBA MANIA in concert 🎤. The day ends with a giant celebration: the world's largest ABBA tribute, 2 hours of show to beautifully conclude RUNFEST.

Moreover, 1€ is donated to Sourire à la Vie, for every registration!🎗
