The event in a few words

The St Martin Christmas Run is your nature rendezvous in the heart of the Cantal, in Saint-Martin-Valmeroux: an Auvergne setting just the way we like it, lanes full of character, and paths that smell like escape 🌲.

You can choose between 10 km (two possible formats) or 12 km: perfect to treat yourself, challenge yourself, or come with a buddy and compare smiles at the finish 😄.

The little extra that hits the mark: Saint-Martin-Valmeroux is the kind of place you come to run… and end up staying to wander around, because Auvergne tells you “come back” without even raising its voice 🏞️.

After the race, stick around: take a stroll through the village of Saint-Martin-Valmeroux for a peaceful walk, head over to Salers (a nearby gem), get some fresh air on the Puy Mary side to feast your eyes, or pop into Aurillac for a coffee break and a bit of city life 🏰.

And if you’re coming as a duo or with family: plan a walk on the little paths around the village, a “volcanoes & valleys” photo session, and a local gourmet break… because here, we know the best medal is the one you share around a table 🍽️.
