Since its creation in 1972, the corrida has seen the best athletes in the world shine.

​

For some, still unknown in Europe, the Corrida was the first step in a brilliant international career.

​

We have not forgotten Jean Yves le Flohic, the first winner in 1972, nor the late Jacky Boxberger, European champion in the 1500m.

​

The Moroccan Khalid Skah, Olympic champion in the 10,000m, made his mark by winning the bullfight 8 times!

​

What about the Ethiopian legend Haile Gebreselassie, the double Olympic champion who won in Houilles in 1994?

​

Or his compatriot Merima Denboba who won 3 times? Arpin, Mamede, Malinowski, Kipketer...

​

The greatest tread the tarmac in Houilles...

​

In 2017, the French-Swiss Julien Wanders broke the French record for the distance, then the European record in 2018.

​

In 2019, Liv Westphal will set a new French record for the 10 km road race!
