La Corrida de Quimper

La Corrida de Quimper is a festive running event held in the historic streets of Quimper, France, typically scheduled between Christmas and New Year's Day. Participants run through cobblestone streets, flanked by the rivers Steir and Odet, and past charming half-timbered houses, culminating at the Saint-Corentin Cathedral. The event features two races: a 6 km women's race and an 8 km men's race, attracting around 5,000 spectators each year.

Participants are encouraged to dress in costumes, with prizes awarded for the best outfits. Each runner receives a gift at the bib collection, and a raffle is held at the end of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
