The Friendship Runs

Les Foulées de l'Amitié takes place in Chelles on Sunday 31 May 2026 and brings together multiple on-road distances for runners of all levels. The event is centred on the Fort de Chelles and the Parc du Souvenir Émile Fouchard, with stretches along the banks of the Marne that combine urban streets and riverside parkland. Distances range from a 1.5 km children’s race to a 21.1 km half marathon, making the day suitable for families, local clubs and competitive runners alike. Organised by U.S. Olympique de CHELLES, the race promotes conviviality and accessible competition within the local community.

The schedule for the day lists the half marathon first and two shorter adult races shortly afterwards, with the children’s race held later in the morning; official start times and entry details are published by the organiser. On-site services noted in official pages include chip timing, aid stations and showers/changing facilities, and a children’s event is explicitly offered. Entries are handled via the organiser’s website and fees vary by distance. The course highlights the Fort de Chelles and riverside sections along the Marne, offering varied scenery for participants and spectators.
