The Autize Foot Race 2026

If you feel like a race where you breathe in the forest to the fullest and where every turn smells wonderfully of nature, The Autize Foot Race in Saint-Pompain is exactly your kind of playground 🌲.

Here, in Deux-Sèvres, you come to treat yourself on paths that alternate between wooded sections, more open spots, and little pick-ups that put a smile on your face (and maybe give you an excuse to say it was “the scenery” that made you speed up) 🥾.

You pick your format: the 7 km to enjoy yourself without burning out, or the 15 km to go after a real taste of adventure and head home with the feeling that you’ve “well earned” your post-race time 🏁.

And after the effort, stick around to extend the outing: take a stroll in Niort and its Place de la Brèche, head up to the Niort Keep, or go relax in the Marais Poitevin for a waterside walk (as your “strides” turn into “strolls”) 🚣.
