"Arise, children of theaaa patriooot, the race day has arriiiived!" 🇫🇷If you've always wanted to commit, but prefer sneakers over military fatigues 💥, join the St Nicolas Run for the Wounded Armed Forces at the beginning of <a href="kavval://pages/9b03df0d-71b7-47f8-99c7-6e3fa8437382" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">December</a> and come run for a good cause.

The very famous <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiche_Lorraine" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Quiche Lorraine</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarte_aux_mirabelles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mirabelle Tart</a> 🥧, or the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madeleine_(cake)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Commercy Madeleine</a>: local specialties are not lacking in the region 🤤.So put on your shoes and come join the St Nicolas Run for the Wounded Armed Forces in the capital of <a href="kavval://places/2d5d1774-f6f7-435e-abad-6cc64b12624b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lorraine</a>! 🏃‍♀️
