The City of Montluçon, with the support of Montluçon Cyclisme, invites residents to participate in the Corrida de Montluçon on Sunday, December 27, 2026. This event, celebrating its 18th edition, expects over 1,400 participants to close the year in a festive and sporting atmosphere.
The event is completely free and open to everyone, from 4 to 99 years old. Six urban races are offered around the Hôtel de Ville, adapted to each age group. Children (from 4 years old) will participate in the Kid’s and Teen’s races (450 m to 3,000 m), while adults and teenagers (from 15 years old) can run two 6,100 m loops, either the Corrida des Jogger’s (without ranking) or the Corrida des Runner’s (official race with ranking).
Costumes are a key element of the Corrida and are strongly encouraged. A contest will reward the best costumes before each start. The course includes the passage of the 110 steps climb of the Château des Ducs de Bourbon.
Starts and finishes will take place at night on Place Jean Jaurès, within the Christmas Village. A DJ and a speaker will liven up the course, especially on the famous rue Grande. A snack (coffee, hot chocolate, mulled wine) will be offered to participants after the effort.
Registration is free and exclusively online via Sportips.fr until Thursday, December 24, 2026 at noon. A public course reconnaissance is scheduled for December 16, and a free training plan is available for download.
