COME JOIN THE LEGENDS
Inaugurated in 1972, the original event was inspired by the famous Sao Paulo corrida in Brazil. After almost 50 years, the Corrida Pédestre Internationale de Houilles, west of Paris, is now known internationally as one of the fastest 10km road races in the world.
In 2018, Julien Wanders broke the French and European record in 27'25. In 2019, Liv Westphal also broke the French record in 31'13. In the last edition, 44 runners ran in under 30 minutes, and 24 female runners in under 36 minutes.
Organised voluntarily by the Comité des fêtes de Houilles, the event, which is IAAF Silver certified, is a major running event in France and Europe.
Two races are available to athletes: the popular race, open to all, and the Course des As, for the best of the best.
