Walking Festival 2026 (Valenciennes)

La marche en fête 2026 (Valenciennes) is a community walking event scheduled for 6 October 2026 and presented under the series name La Marche en Fête. The Valenciennes edition follows the series format of a single 3 km progressive walking test conducted at a controlled increasing pace, and participants receive a digital diploma recording their result. The event is promoted as accessible and inclusive, encouraging everyday movement and offering simple guidance to help people make walking part of daily life.

The Valenciennes edition is organised locally by the Office de Tourisme Valenciennes Tourisme & Congrès in partnership with Finishers and other local partners, and takes place at Complexe sportif Pierre Carous (Avenue 327ème Régiment d'Infanterie). The official city listing does not define start times or entry fees on the event page, and participants are advised to consult the event website for registration and final scheduling. The edition is one of six same‑day city events across France under the La Marche en Fête series.
