The event in a few words

Feel like a nature outing that smells like Normandy, with a real village vibe and volunteers smiling at every turn of the path? The Ranville Races is Ranville taking you along for a simple, generous moment full of fresh air 🌿.

Here, you run in the heart of Calvados, between green corners and quiet little roads, with that little extra soul you only find in “human-scale” events 👍.

You choose your format depending on how you feel that day: 5 km to treat yourself without hurting yourself, 7 km to stretch out the outing, 14 km to enjoy it longer, or the mixed relay if you want to share the effort and the good times (and tease each other a bit at the finish) 🤝.

And the big plus: there are kids & juniors courses, so you can come as a tribe, cheer loudly, and turn the outing into a real family celebration 🎉.

After the finish line, I recommend extending the day without going far: take a look at the Pegasus Bridge and the Pegasus Memorial (just nearby, steeped in history), then go breathe in the sea air over in Ouistreham for a seaside walk, or head on to Caen to stroll around the Château de Caen and find a terrace where you can relive the race with lots of “I was way ahead… until that last turn” 😄.
