La Pradelloise

La Pradelloise is a community sporting event held in Pradelles, a village between Bailleul and Hazebrouck in northern France. Its organizers aim to combine local entertainment with charitable support, introduce visitors to the village and its countryside paths, and donate all registration fees to the associations La Main Tenue Handicap Autisme and the Pradelles school parents’ association (APE). The 2026 event is scheduled for October 11, with registration opening May 30.

Participants can choose from two hiking routes, a children’s race for ages 3 to 10, a 10 km race for participants aged 15 and over, or a 21 km race for those aged 18 and over. The running routes pass through Pradelles, Borre, Caëstre and Strazeele, with only 50 metres of elevation gain on the 10 km and 21 km courses. Organizers promise a festive atmosphere with live orchestras and volunteer support. On-site services include refreshments, toilets, luggage storage, childcare and a prize draw, with course refreshments provided for runners.
