La Course des Remparts 2019 in Provins

That is an original race! the edition 2019 of La Course des Remparts in Provins is takings place on September 29, 2019. Ile de France runners and runners from abroad are expected for this legendary race at the heart of the medieval city of Provins!

You’ll depart from the Place Saint-Ayoul and finish on Avenue Alain Peyrefitte by the Place du 29e Dragon. Then, head to the foliage on boulevard d’Aligre between the river and the ramparts before facing the dreadful ramp leading to the “Trou aux chats” [Cats’ Hole].

Runners will then leave the old city by the Porte de Jouy and run along a wonderfully renovated defensive wall before returning to the upper city through the huge porte Saint-Jean. A few meters of cobblestones lead them to the medieval Place du Châtelet and its super half-timbered houses.
